Vehicle stahls about 50% time in reverse when parking mainly, and in forward when parking. Very scary and I have only had this vehicle for 1.5 months. Repairs have been made according to CEL codes; however, the stalling does not report the code, so it occurs over and over. Very scared this will happen and cause an accident. Based on numerous forums who had the same car and instance - it is the throttle body.

65 MPH ON HIGHWAY, COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER... ELECTRONICS SEEMED TO SPUTTER OFF, THEN BACK ON FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN OFF AGAIN, BUT THE VEHICLE SHUT COMPLETELY OFF MID HIGHWAY DRIVING WITH NO ABILITY TO STEER, ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE. ENDED UP AT A COMPLETE STOP ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NOTHING WORKING TO POWER THE VEHICLE BACK ON. HEATER SEEMED TO CONTINUE TO WORK, BUT NOTHING AS FAR AS THE ENGINE OR DASH, NO ELECTRONICS. CONTINUED TO TRY TO START THE VEHICLE OVER AND OVER AS ONCOMING VEHICLES SWERVED AROUND ME AT 60 TO 70 MPH. DIALED 911 AND HAD TO WAIT 15 MINUTES BEFORE A POLICE CAR PARKED BEHIND THE FORD EDGE WITH FLASHERS ON. LITERALLY NO WARNING, NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO NOTHING. VEHICLE SIMPLY LOST POWER... COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. THIS WAS HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCES FOR MY DAUGHTER WHO WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME. SHE'LL LIKELY NOT GET BACK INTO THAT VEHICLE.

Mileage: 104,000

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK ON A COUNTRY ROAD. THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND WOULDN'T GAIN MUCH SPEED. I WAS TRYING TO GET IT PARKED IN AT LEAST A DRIVEWAY OR PLACE TO SIT SAFELY IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENED. THERE WERE CARS BEHIND ME , THE CAR STARTED SMOKING REALLY BAD FROM THE HOOD. BEFORE I HAD TIME TO GET SOMEWHERE SAFELY, THE CAR SHUT OFF AND STARTED GOING IN REVERSE. I HAD TO SLAM ON MY EMERGENCY BREAK AND WAS STUCK THERE UNTIL I HAD HELP FROM A TOW TRUCK TO TOW IT. THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN ON OR MOVE SO I WAS STUCK ON THIS HILL AND HAD PEOPLE FROM THEIR HOUSE GUIDE TRAFFIC UNTIL HELL CAME. THE CAR DIDN'T GIVE ME ANY WARNINGS OR ISSUES PRIOR TO THIS AT ALL. I HAVEN'T HAD THE VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN 2 YEARS AND HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN CARE OF EVERYTHING AND HAVE KEPT UP ON THE MAINTENANCE OF IT. THE ENGINE IS BLOWN AND WAS TOLD THE ANTIFREEZE LEAKED INTO THE OIL DUE TO THE ENGINE BLOWING. I HAVE STILL BEEN MAKING MY MONTHLY PAYMENT ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN CARLESS FOR MONTHS NOW AND WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE FORD TAKING THE ACTION INTO DOING WHAT'S RIGHT FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS THAT KEEP THEM GOING IN BUSINESS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS VEHICLE AND AM SEEING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE.

Mileage: 130,000

THE CAR ACCELERATED WHILE I WAS BRAKING WHILE PARKING ON THE STREET, THIS PROBLEM IS REOCCURRING. I ALSO CONSTANTLY GET A WARNING THAT MY CAR IS OVERHEATING WHILE THE BAR LINE IS ON COLD. I TRIED PUTTING ANTI FREEZE AND IT DOESN'T HELP. THE CAR ALSO TURNED OFF AT A GREEN LIGHT WHEN I TURNED ON MY AIR CONDITIONER. LASTLY I GOT A WARNING THAT MY OIL PRESSURE IS LOW ALTHOUGH I JUST GOT AN OIL AND FILTER CHANGE THE DAY BEFORE. PLEASE DO A RECALL FOR THESE THINGS. I HAVE A CHILD AND IT IS VERY UNWISE TO PUT HIM IN ANY DANGER BY BEING IN THIS CAR.

I WAS DRIVING MY FORD EDGE ON ROUTE 303 IN PHOENIX AT ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED SHAKING AND LOSING POWER. IT ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE A VERY SHORT DISTANCE UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR, IN A TURN LANE WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER ON MY TAIL ...VERY DISCONCERTING! A YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT WAS SHOWING ALONG WITH SOME NOTICE ABOUT MY TRACTION BEING OFF, I BELIEVE. AFTER SITTING A FEW MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT OFF THE TURN LANE AND INTO A FAIRLY SAFE LANE AHEAD. FORTUNATELY A POLICEMAN PULLED UP BEHIND ME AND I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND CALLED AAA FOR A TOW. 20 MINUTES LATER, I TURNED ON THE ENGINE WHICH NOW SEEMED FINE SO THE POLICEMAN SUGGESTED THAT I PULL FORWARD INTO A SAFER AREA. AFTER DOING SOTHEBY'S CAR SEEMED FINE AGAIN SO I DROVE IT TO MY DAUGHTER'S HOUSE SEVERAL MILES AWAY AND CANCELLED THE TOW. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ON LINE SINCE AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY EDGE OWNERS WHO HAVE FEARED FOR THEIR LIVES WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THEM. SOME SAY CLEANING OR REPLACING THE THROTTLE PLATE SEEMED TO WORK BUT OTHERS HAVE FOUND THAT THE DEALERS INSIST NOTHING IS WRONG AFTER TESTING IT.... IT SEEMS TO HAVE HAPPENED TOO MANY TIMES FOR NOTHING TO BE DONE.... I THINK A RECALL IS IN ORDER SO THAT THE DEALERSHIPS CAN FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE, IF THAT HASN'T ALREADY ACCUR. I HAVE A 2011 FORD EDGE.

2011 FORD EDGE LOST ALL POWER FROM THE THROTTLE WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, HAD A YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT, NO THROTTLE RESPONSE AND ROUGH RUNNING ENGINE. SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF WAITED ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND RESTARTED EVERYTHING WAS RUNNING FINE. DROVE THE EDGE ABOUT 10 MILES ON THE INTERSTATE TO MY EXIT, AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND READY TO ACCELERATE ONTO THE HIGHWAY I HIT THE GAS AND GOT OUT INTO THE INTERSECTION AND THE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN AND LOST ALL POWER LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC COMING BOTH WAYS. AFTER TRAFFIC STOPPED AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY MOVE TO THE SHOULDER I SHUT THE CAR DOWN AGAIN AND CALLED A FRIEND TO COME HELP ME. AFTER SITTING FOR 10-20 MINUTES, MY FRIEND SHOWED UP AND THE EDGE RESTARTS AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THANKFUL MY PARENTS WEREN'T DRIVING OR CHILDREN WEREN'T IN THE CAR AND NO ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I'VE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE THROTTLE BODY IS TO BLAME AND ALL THE SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE EDGE, MUSTANG, FLEX, EXPLORER AND LINCOLN MKX. VERY DISAPPOINTED AND DANGEROUS! GREAT VEHICLE BUT POOR QUALITY OF ELECTRONIC PARTS I HOPE AND PRAY THIS NEVER HAPPENS TO SOMEONE WHO PANICS WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. VEHICLE WILL NOT BE DROVE UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS FIXED.

SOMETIMES IT COULD HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES IN A DAY, SOMETIMES IT WON'T HAPPEN IN A WEEK. I CALLED FORD DEALERS AND THEY SAID TO DIAGNOSTIC IT FOR $98 AND ONLY WHEN THE SYMPTOM HAPPENS THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FIND THE REAL CAUSE.

ONCE WHILE SITTING IDLE AND JUST TONIGHT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD JUST ENOUGH TIME TO PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON TO ALERT THE VEHICLE APPROACHING MY VEHICLE.

JUST AS THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON AND THE WRENCH SYMBOL WAS GONE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE SO I STILL HAD IT TOWED. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE SHOP ON MONDAY MORNING. HOPEFULLY THEY CAN FIND AND FIX THE ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED OR KILLED IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS AS IF MANY FORD EDGE OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. THEN I CHECKED FOR A RECALL AND CANNOT SEEM TO FIND ONE. I WOULD HATE FOR SOMEONE TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS SOLVED OR DEALT WITH BY FORD MOTORS.

(ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS )MY 2011 FORD EDGE UPON ACCLERATION THE VEHICLE LOSES THE ABILTIY TO ACCLERATE - SHUDDERS AND THE CHECK ENGINE FLASHES OR STAYS ON. SUPPOSEDLY COULD NOT FIND THE "CODE" THAT CAUSED IT. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO 2 DIFFERENT DEALER SHIPS - ONE REPLACED THE TRANSFER CASE, THE OTHER THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND IGNITION COILS- TO THE COST OF OVER 600.00 ON A USED CERTIFIED VEHICLE. LESS THAN A FEW DAYS LATER SAME ISSUE - BACK TO DEALER SAID IT WAS A LOOSE WIRE. I NOW DRIVE THE VEHICLE VERY TENTATIVELY AND HOPE I DON'T HAVE TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY.THE VEHICLE PERSISTS IN THE ABILITY TO NOT ACCLERATE QUICKLY ( USUALLY AT 55 MPH OR HIGHER )WITHOUT THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING OR STAYING ON. IT ALSO SEEMS TO HAPPEN MOST FREQUENTLY ON QUICK ACCLERATION --ON RAMP OR GETTING UP TO FREEWAY SPEED . IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THIS USUALLY HAPPENS GETTING ON OR OFF THE FREEWAY OR STAYING UP WITH TRAFFIC, ONCE THE LIGHT GOES ON THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE TODAY IT WILL BE 3 MONTHS FIRST VISIT WAS OCT 29 MILEAGE WAS 68000 AND HAS HAPPENED UP TO TODAY MULTIPLE TIMES AND MILEAGE IS NOW 74000 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN BACK TO FORD DEALER AGAIN TOMORROW.

WHILE DRIVING THE POWERTRAIN ERROR CODE (WRENCH ICON) POPS UP AND MY CARS LOSES ALL ACCELERATION. I'M FORCED TO TRY TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WHILE COASTING AND THEN ONCE STOPPED IF I TAKE MY KEY OUT AND REINSERT AND START THE CAR EVERYTHING IS FINE. FORD DEALER CANNOT FIND ANY ERRORS WITH THE VEHICLE AND THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO UNEXPECTEDLY LOSE ALL ENGINE POWER WHILE AT HIGH SPEED ON FREEWAYS OR EVEN SIDE ROADS WITHOUT A SHOULDER. THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE POSTING THE SAME PROBLEMS.

Mileage: 65,000

TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT INTO PARK. DEALERSHIP EMPLOYEE TOLD ME THAT THIS HAPPENS SO OFTEN IN FORD EDGE AND EXPLORER THAT THEY HAVE TO KEEP THE AFFECTED PARTS IN STOCK CONSTANTLY. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY DEFECT AND COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD BE LEFT IN GEAR WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION BEING LOCKED. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD CORRECT THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH RESULTS.

VEHICLE LOSSES ALL THROTTLE CONTROL VEHICLE DOES NOT SHUT OFF BUT THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH AND HAS NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. I HAVE TO TURN VEHICLE OFF THEN RESTART TO RESET THE COMPUTER. EVERY THING WORKS GREAT FOR A COUPLE DAYS THEN IT DOES IT AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION, ON I 95 , I 64, I 264, COMING CLOSE TO BEING HIT ON PASSENGER SIDE IN A INTERSECTION WITH MY GRAND BABY IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE DEALERSHIP HERE IN NORFOLK VIRGINIA. THEY CHARGE ME 125.00 AND SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THEY THINK IT MIGHT BE A THROTTLE BODY. I TOLD THEM TO PUT ONE ON IT AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DON'T JUST REPLACE PARTS. I PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND 2 DAYS LATER IT DID THIS AGAIN. YOU COULD BE DOING 60, 65. OR 25 WHEN IT DECIDES TO LOSE THROTTLE CONTROL. IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION TURNING OR GOING 60 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE IT DON'T MATTER. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. YOU CAN READ ABOUT PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER ( NOT ACCELERATE ). THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL COME ON. YOU MUST TRY TO SAFELY COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD AND TURN IGNITION OFF AND RESTART. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND IS VERY DANGEROUS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING. DANGEROUS ALSO WHEN THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM TO PULL OFF ROAD SAFELY. WE HAVE TAKEN CAR TO FORD DEALERSHIP BUT THEY CANNOT FIND PROBLEM. WE HAVE NOTED ON THE INTERNET THAT A LOT OF OTHER FORD EDGE DRIVERS ARE ALSO HAVING THIS ISSUE. I WOULD THINK THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY WOULD BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM.

THANKFULLY, WE WERE CLOSE TO HOME AND NOT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. IF WE HAD BEEN ON A BUSY HIGHWAY I DO BELIEVE IT WOULD HAVE CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND THAT TERRIFIES ME SINCE THIS IS OUR PRIMARY FAMILY VEHICLE. I HAVE READ THAT FORD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE BUT WAS NOT MADE TO ISSUE A RECALL. UNFORTUNATELY, FORD INC'S "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM" FOR THIS ISSUE EXPIRED IN JANUARY 2015 SO NOW I WILL BE OUT THE MONEY TO FIX THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD BE MADE TO ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT KILLS SOMEONE.

THIS IS THE SECOND REPORT I HAVE MADE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THE FIRST WAS ON/ABOUT SET. 26, 2015. WHEN I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR IN MOTION, THE POWER TRAIN MALFUNCTION INDICATOR (A WRENCH) COMES ON, THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER, GOES DOWN TO PERHAPS 2 MILES PER HOUR, AND THEN STOPS. IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE POWER STEERING ALSO GOES OUT. WHEN THE CAR STOPS, IT SHAKES AND JERKS. YOU CANNOT ACCELERATE. I TURN THE MOTOR OFF AND THEN ON, "RESETTING" THE INDICATOR (PER THE FORD DEALERSHIP). AND THE ISSUE STOPS. IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY, OCT. 23RD. TWICE (IN THE MORNING AND AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON). I CALLED SAM GALLOWAY FORD IN FORT MYERS, FL AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN ON NOV. 4TH. AGAIN, TODAY IS OCT. 23. I WAS TOLD, BY DANIELLE (SERVICE ADVISOR), THAT "SINCE IT IS NOT HAPPENING ALL THE TIME IT WAS FINE TO WAIT" UNTIL NOV. 4, 2015. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME, ANYONE I HAVE IN THE CAR, AND OTHER DRIVERS. ARE YOU GOING TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE? I AM ON BUSY ROADS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. WHY DON'T YOU DO SOMETHING????

ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON IN BUSY, FAST MOVING HIGHWAY TRAFFIC, I BEGAN A LANE CHANGE TO TURN RIGHT OFF OF THE HIGHWAY ONTO A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET. MY CAR JOLTED THEN ABRUPTLY LOST ALL ACCELERATION. I DID HAVE ELECTRICAL POWER AND POWER STEERING, BUT NO SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO CREEP ALONG AT SNAIL PACE STAYING TO THE FAR RIGHT. I PUT ON MY FLASHERS, AND FORTUNATELY ALL TRAFFIC BEHIND ME COULD SAFELY MANUEVER AROUND TO PASS ME. I WAS QUITE SCARED BY THE SUDDEN ONSET OF THIS PROBLEM, THE LOSS OF CONTROL AND THE FACT THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ONLY GAVE ME "WRENCH" SYMBOL AND NO INSTRUCTIONS OR DESCRIPTIONS THAT WERE HELPFUL. ONCE I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT ON AGAIN, THE SYMBOL LIGHT WAS GONE AND MY CAR DROVE NORMALLY. AT NO TIME PRIOR TO THIS EVENT DID MY INSTRUMENT PANEL DENOTE ANY ISSUE WITH MY POWER TRAIN. ONCE I HAD THIS FAILURE, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALER, MAXWELL FORD IN AUSTIN, AND THEY INFORMED ME THIS IS AN EVENT THAT THEY HAVE SEEN BEFORE. I AM REPORTING IT TO YOU BECAUSE I FEEL THIS WAS A VERY THREATENING SITUATION. LOSING ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE PUT ME AT RISK OF BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. I WAS LUCKY TO BE GOING OFF THE HIGHWAY TO THE RIGHT...A LEFT TURN WOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE, AS THERE WAS NO WAY TO ACCELERATE AND CLEAR MYSELF FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY FORD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

Mileage: 34,000

I WAS DRIVING AT 35 MPH WHEN MY CAR JERKED AND LOST ALL POWER. I HAD TO COAST OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY STEERING CAPABILITY. A WRENCH SYMBOL APPEARED INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE AWD OR POWER TRAIN. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM AND MY CAR STORED NO CODES FOR DIAGNOSTICS.

Mileage: 83,000

VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH ON BUSY 4 LANE ROAD WITH NO SHOULDER. YELLOW WRENCH LIT UP ON DASH AND CAR COMPLETELY AND IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN LEAVING ME WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO STEER AND SAFELY REMOVE THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE ROAD (I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED AND A CAR HAD TO SWERVE TO KEEP FROM HITTING ME). THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN 8 HOURS. CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED, HAD FUEL, NEW BATTERY, ETC. WITH NO OTHER WARNINGS OR INDICATORS. THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS!

Mileage: 53,500

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR, IT JUST PERIODICALLY LOST ACCELERATION ABILITY. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35-40 MPH WHEN IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME. I THEN COASTED INTO A PARKING LOT OFF THE ROAD AND SHUT OFF THE CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES. AT THAT TIME THE WRENCH SYMBOL CAME ON THE DISPLAY REFERRING ME TO MY MANUAL FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, WHICH TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A POWERTRAIN PROBLEM AND TO CONTACT A DEALER FOR SERVICE. IT THEN STARTED FINE AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR SOME TIME. THE NEXT DAY THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I THEN HAD A FEW DAYS OF NORMAL DRIVING, AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME IT SEEMED TO JUST DECELERATE MORE RAPIDLY (UNABLE TO COAST TO A STOP), IT JUST STOPPED BUT WAS STILL RUNNING. I THEN SHUT IT OFF AND THEN STARTED IT BACK UP AND DROVE IT HOME WHERE I LEFT IT UNTIL BEING ABLE TO GET INTO A SHOP FOR SERVICE WHICH WAS A WEEK LATER. AT THE TIME OF THIS PROBLEM, THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WAS AVAILABLE UNTIL JUNE, 2016 OR 60,000 MILES. AT THIS TIME THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 51,700 MILES ON IT. ULTIMATELY THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD THROTTLE BODY WHICH WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND THE COST OF REPAIR WAS $548.14 AT A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE 2011 FORD ESCAPES HAD FOR WHICH THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED.

I WAS DRIVING, AT 40 MILES PER HOUR, ON A CITY STREET. THE YELLOW/GOLD INDICATOR (A WRENCH) APPEARED. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER, GOING FROM 40 TO 20 MILES PER HOUR. THIS HAPPENED IN LESS THAN ONE MINUTE. I PULLED ON TO A SIDE STREET, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND CHECKED TO OWNER'S MANUAL. IT SAID :POWER TRAIN MALFUNCTION". THE INSTRUCTIONS SAID TO STOP DRIVING AND CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. I DID THIS. I CALLED FORD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. I WANTED TO KNOW IF IT WAS SAFE TO TURN ON THE CAR'S AIR CONDITIONING. I WAS TOLD, "YES" THIS IS SAFE. THE TOW ARRIVED 65 MINUTES LATER AND TOOK THE CAR DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER THREE DAYS OF GOING OVER THE CAR, DRIVING IT, CONTACTING FORD, THE (FORD) DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD TO DRIVE THE CAR AND IF THIS HAPPENED AGAIN, TO BRING THE CAR DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND DO NOT TURN OFF THE ENGINE. HOW AM I TO DRIVE THE CAR WHEN THE CAR IS IN THIS CONDITION? HOW CAN I DRIVE ON A CITY HIGHWAY OR AN INTERSTATE, WHERE THE SPEED IS HIGH AND HAVE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN? HOW CAN I SAFELY DRIVE MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THIS CAR? I CALLED FORD, BUT OF COURSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING. I WANT THE CEO MARK FIELDS AND THE EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN, WILLIAM CLAY FORD, JR. TO TELL ME: 1. WOULD YOU FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR; 2. HOW CAN YOU EMPLOYEE SO MANY ENGINEERS (PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, ETC.) AND NOT HAVE SOLVED THIS PROBLEM?

Mileage: 25,800

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, A "AWD OFF" MESSAGE APPEARS IN THE MESSAGE CENTER, ACCOMPANIED BY A WRENCH ICON INDICATING A POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION. THE ENGINE SPEED DROPS TO A ROUGH IDLE WHICH IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CAR THEN COASTS TO A STOP. THERE IS NO LOSS OF POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE CLEARS THE ERROR AND MAKES THE CAR OPERABLE AGAIN. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED ON 9/11/2015 & 9/14/2015

DRIVING APROX. 40 MPH WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON, CALL DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT WOULD CAUSE IT. THEY SAY TO KEEP DRIVING UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN BRING IT INTO BE CHECKED (100.00). CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 3 DAYS LATER, I HAD A LITTLE COMPUTER IT READ CODE P0744, TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT, GENERIC CODE FOR POWER TRAIN PROBLEM. TOOK IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEIR COMPUTER WAS READING THAT CODE AS WELL AS NEEDING A NEW PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE). THIS IS COSTING APROX. $655.00 AND THEY ARE NOT SURE IF THAT IS THE ONLY THING IT NEEDS, ONCE THIS IS FIXED THE COMPUTER COULD READ SOMETHING ELSE. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO GAVE US A PRINTOUT STATING THIS IS A COMMON AND KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE FORD EDGE 2011-2012. CALLED FORD CORP. THEY WERE NOT VERY HELPFUL OTHER THAN SUGGESTING FILING A COMPLAINT. WE WERE TOLD THIS PROBLEM COULD SHUT THE CAR DOWN COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING, IT MAKES ME A LITTLE SCARED TO DRIVE IT, I DON'T NEED IT BREAKING DOWN WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR. NOT HAPPY WITH PAYING $100.00 TO BE TOLD IT'S GOING TO COST ANOTHER $650.00 AND IT MAY NOT EVEN FIX THE PROBLEM.

THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED A FRIDAY NIGHT WHILE DRIVING HOME ON A DARK ROAD. MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE THEN NO LONGER WOULD DRIVER AND THE WRENCH TOOL LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN THE CAR OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, EVERYTHING SEEMED TO WORK FINE, UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME I NOTICED THAT THE CAR HAD 50 MILES TO GO BEFORE EMPTY.

ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS AGO, WHILE DRIVING IN THE OUTER BANKS, NC, I HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER IN THE VEHICLE AND AN YELLOW WRENCH SIGN CAME. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. ONCE RESTARTED, IT WORKED OK. I WENT TO CAVALIER FORD DEALER AT PORTSMOUTH, VA AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL OR MENTION OF THIS PROBLEM FROM FORD, I WAS TOLD NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. TODAY, WHILE DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER, I HAD COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WITH THE YELLOW WRENCH SIGN AGAIN. I HAD TO PULL ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH HAZARD LIGHTS ON. AGAIN, WE WERE LUCKY THAT WE DID NOT GET HIT. WHEN RESTARTED, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE BACK HOME AND TAKE MY WIFE'S CAR. I AM TAKING THE FORD EDGE TO THE DEALER AGAIN. I AM LETTING YOU KNOW THAT, WHEN I GOOGLED FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS, THERE WERE PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS MODEL VEHICLE.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A SURFACE STREET WITH OUR INFANT BOYS IN THE BACK SEAT. WITHOUT WARNING, THE 2011 FORD EDGE LOST ALL POWER AND THE ENGINE VIBRATED INTENSELY. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS COLLISION. SHE RESTARTED THE CAR AND TRIED TO MAKE IT HOME SAFELY AND SLOWLY. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE WAY. THE NEXT DAY (7/20/15), WHEN WE DROVE THE SUV TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT HAPPENED A 3RD TIME. GALPIN FORD (N HILLS, CA) DIAGNOSED IT WITH A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY, NOT COVERED BY OUR 7-YEAR POWERTRAIN LIMITED WARRANTY. THIS IS A CERTIFIED PREOWNED FORD EDGE THAT WE PURCHASED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. THROTTLE BODIES SHOULD NOT FAIL WITH 45K MILES ON THE CAR. AND, IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, OR BETTER YET...IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE LOSS OF POWER IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT FORD SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. *TR

CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 2011 FORD EDGE LIMITED AWD. PURCHASED IN NOV. 2014. ON MONDAY, JUNE 8, 2015 AS I WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH, A LIGHT CAME ON ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE LIGHT SAID "AWD OFF" AND HAD A LITTLE WRENCH SYMBOL ON IT. THE CAR ABRUPTLY LOST POWER AND I JUST COASTED OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC AND ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SHOULDER. I TRIED TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL BUT NOTHING HAPPENED--THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION. MY VEHICLE ESSENTIALLY "DIED" WITHOUT WARNING IN TRAFFIC. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE SUNNY ABOUT 85 DEGREES. THE RADIO AND AC WORKED, BUT THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT. THE VEHICLE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT AND WAS SPUTTERING AS I COASTED. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN "PARK" AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. I WAITED SEVERAL MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE SEEMED TO WORK OK AND NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AFTERWARDS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ARRANGED FOR ME TO HAVE MY CAR INSPECTED FOR THE CAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION. I PAID $111.30 FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE HOOKED TO A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE BUT THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO GET ANY "CODES" FROM A DIAGNOSTIC READING NOR COULD THE DEALER REPLICATE THE WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON. ON JUNE 24, 2015 THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK A PHOTO OF THE LIGHT ON THE DASH, SENT IT TO DEALERSHIP. THIRD TIME HAPPENED ON FRIDAY, JULY 10, 2015 AND I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE PASSING LANE AND HAD TO COAST ACROSS THE SLOW LANE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC SO I WOULDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. AGAIN, I TOOK PHOTOS OF THE ODOMETER AND THE "AWD OFF" LIGHT AND SENT TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP SYS WITHOUT A CODE FROM DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE, THEY CAN'T TELL WHAT IS WRONG. FOURTH TIME HAPPEN LAST NIGHT, JULY 14, 2015. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE AS FROM RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, A LOT OF OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM! PLEASE HELP! I FEEL LIKE I'M GETTING NO HELP!

FORD EDGE SUDDENLY LOST POWER ( VEHICLE STILL RUNNING). NO RESPONSE FROM ACCELERATOR EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE WAS STILL RUNNING. HAD TO ROLL TO SIDE OF ROAD (VERY UNSAFE). A WARNING LIGHT BRIEFLY CAME ON SHOWING ":AWD OFF" AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS WARNING CHANGED THE "WRENCH" ICON. THIS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME JUST A FEW HOURS LATER. I SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER FOR THE NEXT DAY, AND IT HAPPEND AGAIN ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER. DEALER RAN CODES, ALL PASSED AND COULDN'T FIND ISSUE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN 10 MILES AFTER PICKING UP FROM THE DEALER. RESCHEDULED FOR NEXT DAY WITH DEALER. ISSUE HAPPENED YET AGAIN ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER. ONCE AGAIN DEALER COULD NOT FIND ISSUE OR ANY ERROR CODES. IN SUMMARY, IT HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN LESS THAN 30 MILES OF DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

6/4/2015 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 70 MPH AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT JOLT, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL ACCELERATION. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK. I WOULD PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THERE WAS NOTHING. THE CAR WOULD IDLE VERY ROUGH. AFTER I WOULD TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT COULD JUST BE BAD GAS. THEY SAID UNLESS ANOTHER LIGHT COMES ON OTHER THAN THE WRENCH THERE WOULD BE NOTHING THEY CAN DO IN ORDER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS WOULD PERIODICALLY HAPPEN EVERY OTHER DAY UNTIL THIS WEEKEND IT HAPPENED TO ME 14 TIMES JUST THIS WEEKEND... 3 OF THESE TIMES WERE THIS MORNING WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON MY WAY TO WORK. I WAS DRIVING DOWNHILL AND NO ACCELERATOR AND LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND THERE WAS AN 18 WHEELER BEHIND ME WHO JACKKNIFED AROUND MY CAR SINCE THERE WAS NO SHOULDER TO PULL OVER ON. THIS IS A VERY VERY BIG PROBLEM! TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AND THEY CAN'T GET ME IN FOR 4 DAYS. THEY SAID REGARDLESS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALLS. I'M FINDING THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY FORD EDGES...

VEHICLE LOST POWER PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC (SO GLAD I DIDNT GET HIT), WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE YELLOW WRENCH APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ONLY WAY TO CORRECT PROBLEM WAS TO RESTART ENGINE (THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES TRYING TO GET HOME). THE THIRD TIME THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CODES AND HAD A P2111 AND A P2112. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE IT LOOKS REALLY COMMON WHY WOULD THEY NOT RECALL IT LIKE THE FORD FUSION?

MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING WITH OUR TWO YOUNG CHILDREN (4-YEAR-OLD, AND SIX MONTHS) OUR 2011 FORD EDGE AND WITHOUT ANY NOTICE, THE CAR JERKED FORWARD AND WE LOST ALL POWER IN THE ACCELERATOR. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. THE POWER TRAIN WRENCH WAS FLASHING AND SAID TO CONSULT THE MANUAL, SO WE DID. FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS, I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. IT TOOK A LOT LONGER TO TURN OVER, BUT IT EVENTUALLY DID. WE CALLED OUR DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT I COULD BRING THE CAR IN TODAY (FOUR DAYS LATER). THE EDGE DID THIS TWO MORE TIMES OVER THE WEEKEND SO I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND FOUND THIS SITE. I PRINTED OFF THE FIRST FOUR PAGES OF COMPLAINTS AND TOOK IT WITH ME TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY WOULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT "HAD TO RECREATE THE ISSUE" OR THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT. THEY PROPOSED THAT I LET THEM KEEP THE VEHICLE FOR FIVE DAYS AND LET THEM TRY IT EVERY DAY. ABSOLUTELY NOT. WITH ALL THESE DOCUMENTED ISSUES AND FORD BEING UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNLESS IT HAPPENS TO THEM, IF THEY CAN'T GET IT TO HAPPEN TODAY, WE WILL BE DONE WITH FORD FOREVER. I'M HIGHLY DISTURBED BY THE AMOUNT OF ISSUES THAT ARE CLEARLY DOCUMENTED HERE WITHOUT ANY KIND OF RECALL OR, AT MIMIMUM, GUIDANCE GIVEN TO FORD TECHS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

OUR FAMILY WAS DRIVING ON A HEAVILY TRAVELED BRIDGE AT 40MPH AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL POWER AND IDLED ROUGHLY, FORCING US TO TRAVEL ON THE BRIDGE AT JUST A FEW MILES AN HOUR WITH OUR FOUR-WAY FLASHERS ON UNTIL WE REACHED THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. A WRENCH APPEARED ON THE COMPUTER SCREEN WITH THE MESSAGE AWD OFF. MY HUSBAND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND IT RAN FINE UNTIL WE DROVE IT AGAIN AND SAME THING HAPPENED. WE ARE FEARFUL FOR OUR SAFETY AND BEG FORD TO RECALL. I VISITED SEVERAL WEBSITES AND SAW WAY TOO MANY CONSUMERS WITH THIS SAME SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WE ARE GOING TO GET IT EVALUATED BY A MECHANIC TOMORROW AND PRAY THAT WE ARE ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE IT TO THE GARAGE.

ON APRIL 11, 2015, THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY ON THE ENGINE OF MY 2011 FORD EDGE FAILED WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON A 6-LANE HIGHWAY. I WAS TRAVELING IN THE INSIDE LANE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE ENGINE, AND I COASTED QUICKLY ACROSS 2 LANES TO A RIGHT TURN LANE. FORTUNATELY, EVERYONE REACTED POSITIVELY TO MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS AS I DECELERATED. ON MONDAY, APRIL 13, THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE CAR. AFTER RETURNING HOME, I CHECKED THE INTERNET FOR INFORMATION ON THIS FAILURE MODE AND WAS SURPRISED TO READ THAT FORD HAD A COUPLE YEARS EARLIER SETTLED A NHTSA COMPLAINT FOR SEVERAL FORD MODELS THAT EXHIBITED THE PROBLEM MY CAR EXPERIENCED. THE FORD EDGE WAS NOT PART OF THE SETTLEMENT. FURTHER RESEARCH REVEALED OTHER FORD EDGES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS MINE. APPARENTLY, FORD WON A PARTIAL SETTLEMENT ON THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. THE FAILURE MODE IS AS DANGEROUS AS THE GENERAL MOTORS IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE. BOTH THE GM AND FORD FAILURE MODES RESULT IN THE SAME MANNER ' COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AND A HOPE TO MAKE IT SAFELY TO STOP. RECOGNIZING THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO ME, SHOULDN'T THE NHTSA REEXAMINE THIS FORD PROBLEM. IN MY CASE I'M JUST THANKFUL MY WIFE WASN'T DRIVING THE CAR. SHE WAS WITH ME WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED AND CLAIMED SHE WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN HOW TO REACT. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO WAIT UNTIL WE HAVE AS MANY DEATHS AS GM EXPERIENCED WITH THEIR IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE BEFORE ACTING? *TR

I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE UP A SLIGHT GRADE AT 30MPH. ENGINE POWER SUDDENLY DROPPED TO AN IDLE RPM. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS RUNNING ON 1 CYLINDER AND VERY ROUGH. I WAS ABLE TO "CREEP" THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF ROAD. PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR IN NEUTRAL OR DRIVE HAD NO EFFECT. A "WRENCH" WARNING ICON APPEARED ON THE INDICATOR PANEL. SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR ALLOWED US TO DRIVE HOME. THIS OCCURRED TWO TIMES WITHIN 2 MILES. THE CAR WILL BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER TODAY FOR REPAIRS. THIS SAME SCENARIO (LESS THAN 270 MILES PRIOR) OCCURRED AS MY WIFE ACCELERATED AWAY FROM OUR HOME 3 WEEKS PRIOR. THE OWNERS MANUAL INDICATED IT WAS AN AWD ISSUE. MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE THAT FEATURE.THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM COVERED BY A SERVICE BULLETIN AND REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER. PRIOR TO THESE ENGINE INCIDENTS THE CAR HAD ACTED ODD WHEN SHIFTING, AS THOUGH IT POPPED IN AND OUT OF GEAR. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND SO FAR WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY BECAUSE IT HAPPENED EACH TIME IN LOW TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE STARTED IDLING HIGH AND SPUTTERING. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME. I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED. THIS IS THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO CODE TO TELL THEM WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THEY REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS GONE, BUT A FEW HOURS LATER IT CAME BACK ON AND IT STALLED ON ME AGAIN. I WASTED A COUPLE OF HUNDRED DOLLARS TO END UP RIGHT BACK WHERE I WAS BEFORE WITH A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE. IF I COULD AFFORD TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE, I WOULD. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.

UPON RE-STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT APPEARED TO RESOLVE. UPON DOING RESEARCH, I RECENTLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD SERVICE DEPT AND THEY RESET THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER AS I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING SLIPS OR ROUGH STARTS WHEN DRIVING/ACCELERATING OVER THE LAST 2-3 MONTHS.

I CALLED MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY AND PROCEEDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I TOLD THEM AFTER DOING RESEARCH I THOUGHT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID IT WAS A BAD MASS SENSOR, FIXED IT AND SAID I WAS GOOD TO GO. I PICKED UP THE CAR AND TWO DAYS LATER IT DID THE SAME THING, CAR SHOOK, TOOL LIGHT CAME ON, THEN I LOST ACCELERATION, COASTED INTO A PARKING LOT, HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID NO CODES WERE COMING UP SO THEY COULDN'T FIX ANYTHING. I SAID WELL OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING IS WRONG, I SUGGESTED THE THROTTLE BODY THEY SAID NO CODES CAME UP, NOTHING THEY CAN DO, AGAIN I SAID SOMETHING IS WRONG ITS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE! HE SAID UNLESS THE CODE COMES UP FORD WILL NOT LET THEM REPLACE ANYTHING. I ASKED HIM WHAT THE SOLUTION IS HE HAD NOTHING. HE SAID UNLESS IT HAPPENS WHILE THEY TEST DROVE IT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. SO IM STUCK WITH A FAULTY CAR WITH NO SOLUTIONS. *TR

DURING DRIVING MY 2011 FORD EDGE THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE STALL OCCURRED AT AN APPROXIMATE DRIVING SPEED OF 30 MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADWAY. A LIGHT DEPICTING A WRENCH SHOWN ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY ALONG WITH A MESSAGE TO CONSULT MANUAL. AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED, I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT TO SEE IF I COULD GET IT GOING AGAIN BEFORE I GOT HIT BY A CAR. THE CAR DID START AND THEN DROVE NORMALLY. I LOOKED IN THE MANUAL AND FOUND THE WRENCH ICON TO INDICATE A POWERTRAIN DEFECT. SINCE THIS WAS A DRIVING HAZARD, I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE ONBOARD COMPUTER WAS ACCESSED AND THE CODE C-P2111 WAS DIAGNOSED. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT IT WOULD BE REPLACED. A NEW PART WAS INSTALLED AND I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 250 MILES AND IT SO FAR HAS NOT REPEATED THE SAME STALLING. IT DOES NOT, HOWEVER, MAINTAIN CONSISTENT RPMS WHILE IDLING. A COUPLE OF TIMES THEY DIPPED DOWN LOW ENOUGH THAT I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS GOING TO DIE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I DISAGREE--I DIDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO THE INSTALLATION OF THE THROTTLE BODY. I AM MAKING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE THIS ISSUE IS A SEVERE PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE IF THE CAR STALLED ON THE FREEWAY. WHEN IT STALLS, THE CAR DOESN'T SLOWLY COAST ALONG, IT ABRUPTLY STOPS. THIS MAY BE THE SAME PART THAT IS IN OTHER FORD VEHICLES FOR WHICH A RECALL HAS BEEN MADE, BUT SO FAR THERE HAS BEEN NO BULLETIN ON THE FORD EDGE FOR THE THROTTLE BODY DEFECT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE UP A SLIGHT GRADE AT 40MPH APPROXIMATELY 5PM ON A THURSDAY. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE POWER TO THE ENGINE ABRUPTLY CAME TO A SIGNIFICANT DROP IN SPEED. ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 1MPH. I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR, AND THE ENGINE HAD NO RESPONSE. THE CAR KEPT MOVING FORWARD, BUT ONLY THE MAX SPEED OF 1MPH. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING/SOUNDING ROUGH AND WAS SLIGHTLY SHAKY. MY VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE RUNNING NORMALLY ALL DAY AND THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS INDICATING THE CAR NEEDED TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER. AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY LOST ALL THAT POWER, THE LITTLE YELLOW WRENCH SYMBOL (INDICATING POWERTRAIN/AWD ISSUES) APPEARED AND THE WORDS NO AWD. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY (AS WELL AS MY TWO PASSENGERS) THAT THIS DID NOT OCCUR ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY OR THERE WAS MANY CARS RIGHT BEHIND ME. THIS VERY WELL COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MAJOR CRASH!!! ESPECIALLY IF I WAS GOING 65MPH ON OUR MAJOR HIGHWAYS WITH HEAVING TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY, I WAS LESS THAN .5 MILES FROM HOME AND MANAGED TO GET HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. I PARKED MY VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED A MINUTE AND RESTARTED IT. THE ENGINE SEEMED TO RUN HEAVY AT FIRST, THEN IDLED DOWN. I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT MOVED FORWARD AND I DROVE IT ABOUT 1-2 FEET AND PUT IT IN REVERSE. IT SEEMED TO BE FINE. I HAVE NOT DROVE IT SINCE, NOR WILL I UNTIL THE MATTER IS RESOLVED. I AM HAVING IT TOWED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. I AM NOT GOING TO RISK THAT HAPPENING AGAIN UNTIL THE ISSUE(S) ARE RESOLVED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY 4 LANE ROAD IN WILMINGTON NC, THE SERVICE POWERTRAIN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ONE. AT THAT POINT, THERE WAS NO LONGER ANY POWER TO THE WHEELS OF THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY THING THAT COULD BE DONE WAS TO STEER TO THE MEDIAN AND SHUT DOWN THE CAR. THIS CREATED A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION IN WHICH THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO ACTIVELY CONTINUE SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTARTED, THE ERROR WAS CLEARED. NO CODE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY AVAILABLE TO BE PULLED. AT A LATER POINT, THE CODE WAS PULLED WHILE, ONCE AGAIN IN LIMP MODE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CODE PULLED WAS P2111. THIS ERROR, WHEN ACTIVE, CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. *TR

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENTS OF MY CAR GOING FROM THE SPEED I AM TRAVELING TO WHERE I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHICH CAUSES MY CAR TO LOOSE SPEED VERY FAST. A YELLOW WRENCH ICON COMES ON EVERYTIME I HAVE THIS ISSUE. MY CAR BEGINS TO SHAKE AND I AM FORCED TO HAVE TO SHUT MY CAR OFF AND WAIT A MOMENT BEFORE I CAN RESTART MY CAR. IT WENT FROM ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS TO A WEEK TO MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. MY HOUR DRIVE TURNS INTO MY CAR DIEING UP TO 14 TIMES JUST ONE WAY. THIS IS BEYOND UNSAFE CAUSE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ITS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE IT SAFELY TO A SHOULDER TO SHUT OFF MY CAR. THERE WAS ONE DAY WHERE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR A DAY. MY CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD WITH 80K MILES ON IT, THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND SHOULDNT BE HAPPENING. MY CAR HAS BEEN TESTED AND THE READINGS WERE ON THE THROTTLE BODY MODULE. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO A SHOP YET BECAUSE I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A FAULTY PART THAT FORD HASNT ISSUED A RECALL ON AND REPAIRED WITHOUT MONEY COMING OUT OF MY POCKET. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A LOCAL 4-LANE ROAD, THE 2011 FORD EDGE LOST POWER, BECAME UNRESPONSIVE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND THE "WRENCH" SYMBOL APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CAR WOULD STILL MOVE FORWARD (PERHAPS 5 MPH OR LESS), AND WE WERE ABLE GET THE FLASHERS ON AND TO PARK ON A SIDE ROAD. THE SITUATION WAS VERY DIFFICULT AS WE HAD TO CROSS A LANE OF TRAFFIC AT LOW SPEED, WHERE TRAFFIC NORMALLY MOVES AT 40-50 MPH. AFTER LOOKING IN THIS DATA BASE AND AT OTHER INTERNET SOURCES, THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE RELATIVELY COMMON TO THE FORD EDGE, BUT WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ABOUT IT. *TR

DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY, 55 MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JERKS, SLOWS DOWN AND I CANNOT CONTROL THE ACCELERATION. I HAVE TO QUICKLY PULL OVER ONTO GRASSY AREA OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. THE AWD SIGNAL CAME ON AND A WRENCH SIGNAL. I QUICKLY TURNED CAR OFF AND RESTARTED AND IT WAS FINE. THIS HAPPENED OVER A MONTH AGO AND DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL YESTERDAY AND THEN AGAIN THIS MORNING. ALL 3 TIMES MY 2 YEAR OLD HAS BEEN WITH ME AND I HAVE BEEN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THIS COULD HAVE HAD DIRE CONSEQUENCES. THE CAR SLOWS DOWN SO QUICKLY THAT IF ANYONE WAS CLOSELY BEHIND ME THEY CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE REAR-ENDED ME. LOOKING ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE QUITE THE ISSUE, YET THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL?? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! *TR

MY VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN SLOWED DOWN TO A COAST AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. A YELLOW ICON APPEARED AND INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER ASAP, THERE IS A MALFUNCTION IN THE VEHICLE'S AWD SYSTEM. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN OF THE CAR. THE CAR THEN STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR OVER TO THE DEALERSHIP I GOT HIT WITH A $1,000 BILL, FOR THE PART (THROTTLE BOX CONTROLLER) $475, LABOR $120, RE PROGRAMMING THE COMPUTER $130, FUEL INJECTOR CLEANING $159 AND OIL CHANGE $75.

I WAS DRIVING 25 MILES PER HOUR ON A MAJOR ROADWAY AND FOR NO REASON THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND GASP. AFTER I LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE I COULD ONLY DRIVE ONE MILE AN HOUR TO TRY TO GET OFF THE ROAD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I DID NOT GET IN AN ACCIDENT BUT IT COULD HAVE EASILY HAPPENED. A YELLOW WARNING WRENCH ICON APPEARED. I TURNED OFF THE CAR. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY BECAUSE NO ERROR CODES WERE FOUND AND IT WAS DIRTY. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ONE WEEK LATER WHEN I WAS TRAVELING 50 MILES PER HOUR. I TRIED TO DRIVE TO A DEALERSHIP TO KEEP THE WRENCH ICON ON BUT THE CAR STALLED. I RESTARTED AND THE PROBLEM RESOLVED BUT I CONTINUED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. ONCE AGAIN THERE WAS NO CODE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND IT IS HAPPENING TO OTHERS AS WELL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM LUCKY IT DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED BY FORD. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD NO POWER IN THE GAS PEDAL, AND AN ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT POPPED UP IN MY DASH. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK. IT WAS IDLING VERY ROUGH. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES I CRANKED IT BACK UP AND IT WAS FINE. I TOOK IT TO TALLAHASSEE FORD ON MAGNOLIA. WHEN I GOT THERE AND TOLD THE SERVICE GUY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS HE IMMEDIATELY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. TWO DAYS LATER HE CALLED AND SAID THEY REPLACED THE PCM. IT WAS FINE FOR 24 HOURS THEN IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN IN DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC. I TOOK IT BACK TO FORD AND THEY REPLACED MY DIRTY AIR FILTER AND THAT WAS IT. NOW IT'S BACK AT FORD RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS NOW HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY AND IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I DO A LOT OF INTERSTATE DRIVING, AND THEY JUST CALLED TO TELL ME IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT WOULD BE NEARLY $600 TO REPLACE IT.

I HAD JUST PURCHASED MY 2011 FORD EDGE SEL DRIVING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER DRIVING IT HOME. I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE HWY WHEN I LOST POWER, A WARNING CAME UP ON THE DASH AWD OFF WITH THE LITTLE TOOL BESIDE IT. I HAD TO COAST OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THANKFULLY THERE WAS A PLACE TO PULL OVER. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT DROVE FINE UNTIL 1 WEEK LATER WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING, THE CAR SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I DID MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THIS TIME IT DID NOT WANT TO START SO I WAITED ALITTLE LONGER AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT DID START BACK UP. I PULLED OUT AND LESS THAN 1/2 MILE DOWN THE ROAD IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I MANAGED TO GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TURNED EVERYTHING OFF RESTARTED IT AGAIN. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED AT NIGHT WITH JUST ME AND MY SON, WE WERE SCARED TO DEATH . I DID MAKE IT HOME THAT NIGHT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T SEE ME UNTIL 1 WEEK AND 2 DAYS LATER. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPT TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY CAN'T HELP ME WITH MY CAR SINCE IT IS A FORD AND THEY ARE A CHEVY DEALER AND I NEED TO TAKE IT TO THEIR FORD DEALERSHIP. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS BEFORE I DROVE AN UNSAFE CAR 45 MINUTED DOWN THE ROAD. AFTER COMPLAINING TO THE SALESMAN WHO SOLD ME THE CAR , THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE IT TO THE FORD SERVICE DEPT FOR ME (ITS 3HRS FROM MY HOUSE) BUT THAT IS NOT UNTIL NEXT WEEK.

THE ENGINE REMAINS RUNNING, BUT VEHICLE LOOSES ALL POWER TO THE WHEELS AND SUDDENLY STOPS. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 25 MPH ON A COUNTY ROAD TO 55 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE. IT IS UNSAFE AND THE CAR IS UNABLE TO MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS CLEARLY IS A ISSUE WITH THE MANUFACTURE OF THE VEHICLE, AND DRAMATICALLY IMPACTS SAFETY, INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS CRASH. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS VERY SAME ISSUE WITH LATER YEARS, INVOLVING A HALF-SHAFT RETENTION CLIP THAT IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED. FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS ISSUE IS OCCURRING WITH OTHER MODEL YEARS, AND REFUSES TO ADDRESS OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

DOOR AJAR SENSOR APPEARED, TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER, REPLACED DOOR LATCH AND DOOR AJAR ICON DISAPPEARED. AUTOMATIC DOOR LATCHES ARE WORKING PROPERLY; HOWEVER, ONE WEEK LATER, AS I WAS DRIVING A WRENCH ICON APPEARED AND MY CAR LOST POWER. IMAGINE THE DANGER INVOLVED IN DRIVING AND LOOSING POWER. CALLED THE DEALER, LEFT THE CAR AGAIN FOR ANOTHER REPAIR SESSION. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR HAS BEEN VERY PROBLEMATIC FOR THE FORD EDGE MODEL AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE LIST OF MANY AND HOPEFULLY SOMETHING WILL BE DONE FOR THE CONSUMER. I AM DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE STILL SMELLS NEW AND ONLY HAS 40,200 MILES ON IT BUT IS ALREADY HAVING PROBLEMS. ACRONYM FOR FORD=FIX OR REPAIR DAILY, AND I SURE HOPE NOT! FORD HAS ANOTHER ACRONYM, BUT I WILL NOT POST IT AT THIS TIME. TRYING TO REMAIN PATIENT, BUT DILIGENT. *TR

GOING DOWN A BUSY ROAD AT 45MPH, MY 2011 FORD EDGE DID A SLIGHT JERK AND I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED! THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN 3 WEEKS. THEY OCCUR AT RANDOM AND WITHOUT WARNING. A WRENCH ICON WILL DISPLAY ON THE DASH WHEN IT OCCURS. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD TO STOP SINCE I COULD NOT ACCELERATE, NOR DID THE MOTOR REV WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS. ONCE STOPPED ON SHOULDER, I CUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON. IT TOOK LONGER THAN NORMAL TO CRANK. ONCE IT FINALLY STARTED UP I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING WITH NO PROBLEMS. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO A FORD DEALER TO SEE WHAT THE ERROR MESSAGES READ AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY MESSAGES ON MY CAR. THIS FACT MADE IT SO I COULD NOT USE MY WARRANTY COVERAGE TO COVER REPAIR COST. THIS IS LUDICROUS! SINCE THIS ISSUE IS RECURRING AND ,AFTER RESEARCH, FOUND TO BE PREVALENT IN MANY FORD MODELS, FORD SHOULD STEP UP AND RECALL THIS ISSUE BUT THEY WON'T. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE INJURIES! *TR

WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP POSITION, OR WHEN I AM APPROX. ONLY A FEW MILES PER HOUR THE VEHICLE WILL JUMP AND IT WILL FEEL THE VEHICLE JUMP AND IT FEELS LIKE I AM REAR-ENDED. I ASKED MY DEALER ABOUT THIS AND WAS TOLD THEY NEVER HEARD OF IT. IT WAS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. MANY, MANY OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I FOUND TSB 11-5-6 AND BROUGHT IT WITH ME TO MY DEALER AND HAD IT FIXED. AGAIN, THEY NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THE TSB, WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE SEEMED FINE BUT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. I EMAILED, AND SPOKE ON THE PHONE, TO THE DEARER AND TO FORD. THEY SPECIFIED THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE AND SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, JUST LIKE THE LAST TIME. THEY SAID IF THEY CAN REPRODUCE IT, THEY CAN'T FIX IT. PLUS I WOULD BE CHARGED FOR IT EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THERE IS NO WAY FOR THEM TO REPRODUCE IT AT WILL, AS IT ONLY HAPPENS ABOUT 1 TIME PER MONTH. WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN, IT IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HIT YOU. I FOUND TSB 13-3-18 WHICH IS ANOTHER REPAIR FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD TOLD ME IT DOESN'T PERTAIN TO ME. ACCORDING THE WORDING IN THE TSB, I AM NOT SO SURE. FORD IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THEY SHOULD BE OBLIGATED TO FIX IT. *TR

I AM A 55 YEAR OLD WOMAN AND JULY 27, 2014 HEADED FOR ST. LOUIS TO THE AIRPORT. ABOUT 35 MINUTES INTO MY TRIP, ON A VERY RURAL MISSOURI HIGHWAY, MY CAR HAD NO POWER ACCELERATING AND THE "WRENCH LIGHT" CAME ON. LUCKILY, A CHURCH PARKING LOT WAS NEAR, SO I COASTED THERE AND SHUT OFF THE CAR. I STARTED IT, IT WAS RUNNING OK AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF. I MADE THE REST OF MY TRIP. WHEN I GOT BACK HOME, I LEFT THE NEXT DAY ON AUGUST 6TH TO HEAD TO AURORA, MO TO HELP MY DAUGHTER. ABOUT 1 1/2 HOURS INTO MY TRIP, THE CAR DID EXACTLY THE SAME THING. NO POWER, WRENCH LIGHT ON. I WAS SO NERVOUS SINCE I WAS ON INTERSTATE 44 WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC. I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND RESTARTED THE CAR AND MADE IT TO AURORA. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE FORD DEALER THERE. THEY CHECKED IT AND STATED NO CODES CAME UP SO THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. I CALLED HUTCHESON FORD IN ST. JAMES (WHERE I PURCHASED EDGE) AND THEY WANTED ME TO BRING IT IN. JULY 28TH, I TOOK IT TO ST. JAMES WITH THE SAME RESULTS. NO CODES, NO HELP. I CAME HOME AND HAD A LOCAL MECHANIC DRIVE IT. HE DID AND SAID THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG & TO CHECK THE INTERNET FOR COMMON PROBLEMS. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON THEIR 2011 EDGE AND STATED IT WAS THROTTLE BODY. I DRIVE A LOT BY MYSELF ON ROADS WITH NO SHOULDER SO I HAD TO HAVE IT TAKEN CARE OF. TODAY I JUST PICKED UP THE EDGE WITH A NEW THROTTLE BODY OF $710. *TR

ENGINE WAS RUNNING, BUT STUMBLING. I TURNED CAR OFF AND WAITED A MINUTE. THEN RESTARTED, EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. THE SUDDEN DECELERATION WAS SO VIOLENT THAT I ALMOST HIT MY HEAD ON STEERING WHEEL. CONCERNED IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN ON A BUSIER HIGHWAY AND THE CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY PREVAIL. I AM ALSO WONDERING IF ITHE THROTTLE BODY IS THE SAME AS THE FORD ESCAPE WHICH HAS A RECALL ON IT. *TR

THIS IS MY 2ND COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS SAME DEFECT AS IT HAS OCCURRED 2 ADDITIONAL TIMES (3 TOTAL INCIDENTS). THE 1ST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 4/11. THE 2ND INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 6/2 WHEN MY WIFE WAS TURNING RIGHT FROM AN INTERSECTION. AT APPROXIMATELY 20MPH SHE LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND HAD TO QUICKLY CHANGE LANES AND COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHILE AVOIDING TRAFFIC. SHE PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. ONCE SHE TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, THE CAR OPERATED NORMALLY. THE 3RD INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 6/3. MY WIFE ACCELERATED FROM A RED LIGHT INTO AN INTERSECTION AND LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. SHE WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH CARS SWERVING AROUND HER. SHE AGAIN STOPPED HER CAR FROM COASTING, PUT IT IN PARK, AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. SHE RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT OPERATED NORMALLY. I DEEMED HER CAR TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND WOULD NOT ALLOW HER TO DRIVE UNTIL REPAIRED. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THE FORD ESCAPE, FUSION, MARINER, AND MILAN HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THE EDGES ARE HAVING. THOSE OWNERS RECEIVED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. REFERENCE CUSTOMER SERVICE PROGRAM (CSP) 13N03 AND NHTSA ACTION # PE13003. I TOOK HER CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ERROR CODES NOR REPEAT THE PROBLEM. HE SAID HE COULD NOT REPAIR ANYTHING WITHOUT THIS INFORMATION. I MENTIONED CSP 13N03 AND HE SAID HE WAS AWARE OF IT BUT IT DIDN'T APPLY TO THE EDGE. SINCE THE PROBLEMS WERE EXACTLY THE SAME, I ASKED IF REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. HE HESITATED BUT AFTER SOME PRODDING HE SAID IT WOULD MOST LIKELY FIX THE PROBLEM BUT HE COULDN'T OFFICIALLY SAY SO. I HAD THEM REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY ON 6/6 ($698.06) AND MY WIFE HAS HAD ZERO PROBLEMS AS OF 8/13, FURTHER PROVING IT'S THE SAME DEFECT. I HOPE FORD STEPS UP AS THEY DID WITH THE OTHER FORD MODELS AND CORRECTS THIS DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

IN ALL INCIDENTS, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND AVOID A REAR END COLLISION. I HAD THE CAR SERVICED AT A FORD DEALER, THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY.

WHEN DRIVING ON A 2 LANE MOUNTAIN ROAD AT 60, ENGINE FULLY WARMED UP (RUNNING FOR 20+ MINUTES, AMBIENT TEMPERATURE APPROX 85 F) THE THROTTLE BECOME UNRESPONSIVE AND THE ENGINE RPM DROPPED TO APPROXIMATELY 600 RPM BASED ON THE DASH TACHOMETER. WHEN THIS HAPPENED A YELLOW WRENCH DIALOG WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DIGITAL DASH WITH NO TEXT OTHER THAN "OK". ALL CONTROLS OTHER THAN THE THROTTLE SEEMED TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY. WE WERE GOING DOWNHILL WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND WERE ABLE TO COAST UNTIL WE FOUND A SUITABLE PLACE TO PULL OVER. ONCE WE PULLED OVER WE NOTICED THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND SPUTTERING. WE TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND THE ISSUE PERSISTED (ROUGH IDLING AND NO THROTTLE CONTROL). OPENED HOOD AND PULLED ENGINE COVER TO CHECK FOR ANY VISIBLE ISSUES, NONE FOUND. WHEN WE GOT BACK INTO THE CAR THE THROTTLE WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND THE IDLE WAS SMOOTH WITH NO SPUTTERING. WE FINISHED THE REST OF THE DRIVE WITHOUT INCIDENT AND WHEN WE GOT BACK TO THE HOUSE HOOKED UP THE OBDII READER AND NO FAULT CODES WERE STORED. WE TOOK THE EDGE IN TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER (LAWLEY'S TEAM FORD IN SILVER CITY, NM) THE NEXT MORNING AND THEY FOUND NO FAULT CODES STORED IN ANY MODULE AND CHARGED US $122.25 FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS STILL COVERED UNDER THE FACTORY POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE ISSUE BUT SAID IT MAY HAVE BEEN A "RANDOM GLITCH" OR "BAD FUEL". THANKFULLY, THIS HAPPENED ON A LIGHTLY TRAVELED ROAD AND WE WERE HEADING DOWNHILL AND ABLE TO COAST AND FIND A PLACE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. IF THIS WERE A BUSY ROAD OR WE WERE NOT ABLE TO PULL COMPLETELY OFF THE ROAD THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH MORE SERIOUS ISSUE. WE HAVE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN A MONTH SO WE CAN'T SAY WHETHER IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE THAT. IT HAS NOT OCCURRED IN THE 1000+ MILES WE HAVE PUT ON THE CAR SINCE IT OCCURRED. *TR

THE FIRST TIME, LUCKILY, SHE WAS ABLE TO COAST ACROSS FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED WHERE TWO INTERSTATES MERGE AND THE IS NOT A SHOULDER ON THE LEFT. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. THE DEALER STATED IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER MODELS BUT NOT THE EDGE. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND I GOT THE IMPRESSION THEY DID NOT CARE ABOUT THE ISSUE OR THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE DRIVING THEIR VEHICLES.

I PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. WHEN I WENT TO TURN IT BACK ON IT HESITATED FOR A MINUTE, BUT THEN STARTED. THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL A FEW WEEKS LATER WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH! I'VE HAD IT HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN AND ALMOST BEING HIT A FEW OTHER TIMES. I'VE NOTICED THAT I DON'T HAVE AS MUCH POWER WHEN ACCELERATING EVEN WHEN THE WRENCH DOESN'T COME UP. TODAY IT HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THIS TIME.

SUNDAY JULY 13 IT STOPPED PROBABLY A DOZEN TIMES ON A 10 MILE ROUND TRIP. SINCE THEN IT HAPPENS 2 OR 3 TIMES A DAY UNTIL TODAY. TODAY IT HAS STOPPED 10 TIMES BEFORE 10:00 AM. (JULY 17, 2014). *TR

I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT MY 2011 FORD EDGE LIMITED AWD, I'VE HAD IT LESS THEN TWO MONTHS . THEN ONE MORNING AS I WAS COMMUTING TO WORK I LOST POWER TO MY EDGE. THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR APPROX. 68 DEGREES, A BEAUTIFUL FRIDAY MORNING I WAS DRIVING I FELT A JOLT LIKE A KICK IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS FOLLOWED BY A FLASH OF THE TOOL SYMBOL & ?AWD OFF? ON MY FRONT INSTRUMENT PANEL. I LOST ACCELERATION POWER. I HAD NOWHERE TO PULL OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD JUST CAME OUT OF A SHARP CURVE. ALL I COULD DO WAS PUT THE EDGE IN PARK. TURN OFF, THEN TURN BACK ON, IT STARTED RIGHT UP LUCKILY. THE NEXT DAY MY HUSBAND TOOK THE EDGE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE DEPT. HOOKED UP THE EDGE AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS/ERRORS/CODES. ALTHOUGH THEY SAID IT IS PROBABLY THE THROTTLE BODY, SINCE THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL FORD EDGES COME IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE GOOGLED ?LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 FORD EDGE? AND DIDN?T RELIES THAT THIS IS THE #1 PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGES, YOU WOULD THINK THAT FORD WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. AFTER READING ALL THE COMMENTS I SAW INFORMATION ON THE ?THROTTLE BODY? BEING REPLACED. SEVERAL PEOPLE POSTED THEIR EDGE HAD A CODE P2111 OR P2112 (PERTAINING TO THE THROTTLE BODY). I CALLED FORD AND THEY TOLD ME THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HELP! I HAVE A SMALL FAMILY NOW I'M SCARED TO DRIVE! *TR

IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING NORMALLY THE ENGINE SLOWS RPM ALMOST TO A STALL THEN WOULD NOT DO ANY THING WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED. AFTER PULLING OVER I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT DROVE FINE FOR ABOUT 20 MILES. THEN WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO A REDLIGHT IT DID THE SAME THING. SO I TURNED IT OFF AND ON AND IT WAS FINE AGAIN. I DROVE IT HOME AND NOW ITS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE IT SEEMS THAT IT IS PROBABLY THE THROTTLE BODY. IM GOING TO REPLACE THAT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. *TR

Mileage: 38,000

DRIVING 45 MPH AND VEHICLE LOST POWER, THE WRENCH DASH WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, PULLED OVER SHUT IT OFF AND IT WAS ROUGH TO START BUT IT DID, AND RAN OK. A WEEK LATER DID IT AGAIN GOING ABOUT 25 MPH. AS OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED SCANNER SHOWS NO CODES. FORTUNATELY FOR US THE ISSUES HAVE HAPPENED ON LOW VOLUME ROADWAYS, NOT HIGH SPEED, HIGH TRAFFIC LIKE SOME UNLUCKY FOLKS. LOCAL DEALER CALLED FORD AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN, WE HAVE 35K MILES BUT 45 MONTHS. HOPEFULLY FORD WILL STAND UP AND DO A RECALL WITHOUT WAITING FOR THE DEATHS TO MULTIPLY LIKE GM! *TR

ON MY WAY TO WORK ON 787 IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC 7:30 IN THE MORNING , WAS ABOUT TO GET OFF OF 787 TO GET ON I90 ALL OF THE SUDDEN I LOST FULL POWER OF THE GAS, PULLED OVER AS SOON AS I COULD WITH ALL THE TRAFFIC . THE SYMBOL CAME UP ON THE SCREEN THE WRENCH LOOKING PICTURE. I SHUT MY CAR OFF. CALLED MY HUSBAND AND HOPING I WOULDN'T GET HIT WITH PEOPLE DOING 60 PLUS RIGHT PASSED ME. AFTER 10 MIN I STARTED MY CAR BACK UP AND HOPING I CAN ACCELERATE BACK ONTO 787. FINALLY GOT TO WORK. FORD REALLY NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN!!!! *TR

DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATOR RESPONSE. HAD TO COAST OF THE ROAD IN A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE WRENCH LIGHT ON DASH LIT UP. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON 3 TIMES AND THEN I COULD DRIVE LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED AND THE DASH LIGHTS WENT OFF. IT HAPPENED AGAIN A WEEK LATER ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. I WAS ON TH ELEFT LANE AND THERE WAS NO SHOULDER SO I HAD TO COAST THRU THREEE LANES TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. AGAIN, TURNED CAR ON OF SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL REGAINED ACCELERATOR RESPONSE. WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION I LOCATED AN OBDII SCANNER ANDD THE P2111 CODE CAME UP. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE FORD ESCAPE THAT WAS ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. INVESTIGATING THRU THE INTERNET THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE ON THE FORD EDGE. WHY IS IT FORD NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUE AND DO THE SAME AS FOR THE ESCAPE VEHICLES? *TR

Mileage: 55,000

WE WERE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE LOST "POWER" BUT IT WAS ONLY THE ABILITY TO GO. THERE WAS ENOUGH TRAFFIC AND LACK OF SPEED TO PROHIBIT FROM MOVING ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE SHOULDER. WE MADE IT TO THE SLOWEST LANE (FURTHEST RIGHT HAND LANE). THE ONLY THING THAT SAVED US FROM BEING REAR ENDED WAS THERE WAS A SHERIFF NEAR BY AND SAW US BROKE DOWN STRANDED AND HE HELPED DIRECT TRAFFIC AROUND US FOR OUR SAFETY. WE WERE IN AN UNPOPULATED AREA AND HAD NO RESOURCES FOR SOME ONE TO COME GET US OR KNOW WHICH TOWING COMPANY COULD HELP US, ALONG WITH KNOWING A TRUSTED MECHANIC OUT WHERE WE WERE. MY CAR IS LESS THAN 4 YEARS OLD, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. WHEN WE FINALLY MADE IT HOME OUT OF SHEER LUCK, WE DID LOTS OF RESEARCH ON WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE AND FOUND MILLIONS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR FORDS. I LOVE THE COMPANY BUT I NEVER END BEEN SO STRESSED OUT AND SCARED FOR MY CHILDREN'S SAFETY. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE TO BE SAFE AND IT HAD FAILED ME. LIKE I SAID, I COULD BE MARKING THIS FORM DIFFERENTLY IF THE OFFICER DIDN'T PROTECT US. THE PART WAS NOT CHEAP ALONG WITH THE LABOR. WITH SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE BREAKING DOWN FOR THE SAME REASON, I AM SHOCKED AND APPALLED THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS YET. I URGE YOU TO CHANGE THAT AND KEEP THE ROADS SAFE FOR ALL DRIVERS. SINCE THE AFFECTED PART DOESN'T HAVE MY SPECIFIC PART, IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND EVEN MY MECHANICS SAID FORD HAS NEVER HAD A GOOD ONE. WISH I WOULD OF KNOW THAT BEFORE PURCHASING MY VEHICLE. *JS

DRIVING GETTING READY TO MAKE A TURN, VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED OUT, DIDN'T TURN OFF BUT I LOST POWER. HAD NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. IMMEDIATELY PUT ON HAZARD LIGHTS, PUT INTO PARK AND TURNED CAR OFF. TURNED CAR BACK ON AND PRECEDED WITH FEAR AND CAUTION. I HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT AT ABOUT14000 MILES WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE TO WORK IN THE MORNING, IF THIS HAPPENS DURING RUSH HOUR SOMEONE MAY BE INJURED OR WORST. I USUALLY HAVE MY GRAND DAUGHTER WITH ME. *JS

2ND INCIDENT IN 3 WEEKS. FIRST INCIDENT, WAS TRAVELING AT 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY AND SECOND WAS AT 50 MPH ON A REGIONAL ROUTE. WHILE IN DRIVE, WITHOUT WARNING, AWD OFF APPEARS FOLLOWED BY THE WRENCH ICON INDICATING SERVICE IS NEEDED IMMEDIATELY. THE CAR LOSES ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. ENGINE, BRAKES, RADIO, AC ALL STILL WORK, THE ONLY ISSUE IS AN INABILITY TO ACCELERATE AT ALL SO THE CAR BASICALLY IS IN NEUTRAL AND STARTS LOSING SPEED IMMEDIATELY. HAD TO PUT ON EMERGENCY BLINKERS BOTH TIMES, COAST ACROSS BUSY HIGHWAY LANES TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND IT WAS AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY AS IT COULD BE POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING (THINK IF YOU WERE CROSSING AN INTERSECTION, NEEDED TO SPEED UP TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF SOMETHING OR WERE ON TRAIN TRACKS). AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHO RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I AM BRINGING IT TO A SEPARATE DEALER AFTER EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE A SECOND TIME. OTHER ISSUES THAT REFERENCE SIMILAR EXPERIENCE CITE A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY WITH ERROR CODE P21111. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

SECOND INCIDENT IN 3 WEEKS. WHILE DRIVING, AWD OFF LIGHT APPEARS WHILE THE CAR IS IN DRIVE. ANY ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE FAILS AND I HAD TO DRIFT THROUGH TRAFFIC TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

DRIVING 43MPH, MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THE AWD OFF AND WRENCH ICON INDICATORS APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. I HAD TO SWERVE ONTO THE MEDIAN TO AVOID BEING REAR-ENDED. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON JUNE 16, 17, 24 & 25. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT VARYING SPEEDS, FASTER AND SLOWER THAN THE FIRST INCIDENT. IT ENDED UP BEING THE THROTTLE BODY, AND CONVENIENTLY JUST 4000 MILES PAST THE WARRANTY EXPIRATION. I WAS TOLD BY TWO SEPARATE MECHANICS THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THEY'VE SEEN MANY TIMES, AND IF IT WERE ONE OF TWO OTHER FORD MODELS, IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN BY FORD. IT IS THE SAME PART IN ALL VEHICLES, BUT ONLY COVERED IN CERTAIN MODELS? THIS FAULTY PART IS PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES AT RISK, OR AT MINIMUM PUTTING THEM IN UNNECESSARY DANGER OF AN ACCIDENT AND RESULTING FINANCIAL DAMAGES THAT FOLLOW. IF IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE PART, WHY IS THIS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE? AND WHY ARE ONLY CERTAIN MODELS COVERED? $600 LATER AND I DON'T TRUST THAT MY PROBLEM IS SOLVED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND MY THROTTLE WENT AWAY COMPLETELY WITH NO WARNING. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH MY 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. I PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND DRIFTED BACKWARDS TRYING TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND HURRIED TO GET MY DAUGHTER OUT OF THE CAR IN CASE WE WERE HIT. AFTER A MECHANIC SCANNED IT HE SAID THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT FORD KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM BUT HAVE ONLY COVERED IT THROUGH EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR CERTAIN MODELS AND NOT THE EDGE AND THE PART IS $500. I DO NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY AND ITS A FAULTY PART THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN. I HAVE 2 KIDS AND THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE. I NEED FORD TO COVER THIS REPAIR. *TR

AS MANY HAVE STATED, DROVE ABOUT 1/2 HOUR DOWNTOWN AND DROPPED OFF WIFE AND WAS ON MY WAY BACK HOME (DID NOT TURN CAR OFF EVEN AT THE DROPOFF). STILL DOWNTOWN DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION. CAR JUST BEGAN TO DECELERATE. STILL HAD POWER TO THE STEERING AND BREAKS, RADIO, DASH, ETC.. JUST COULD NOT ACCELERATE. PULLED OFF TO SIDE AND ENGINE WAS A BIT ROUGH. TURNED OFF CAR AND RESTARTED. ALL WAS FINE. TOOK INTO FORD DEALERSHIP A FEW DAYS LATER. ORIGINALLY THEY SAID IT WAS A STEERING ANGLE SENSOR MODULE AT A PRETTY HEFTY PRICE. I SUGGESTED THAT I'LL WAIT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN (IF IT DOES) WHERE WE CAN GET AN ALARM CODE FROM IT. THEY DID THE REST OF THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND THEN WHEN THE GUY TOOK IT OUT FOR TEST DRIVE IT HAPPENED TO HIM. ERROR CODE P21111 - FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. IT IS ON ORDER BUT NOT UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH I'M JUST UNDER THE 60,000 MILES AND NOT EVEN 4 YEARS OLD YET. *TR

THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE DEFECT OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,320.

ENGINE STALLED ON INTERSTATE. HAD TO PULL INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE, SHIFT TO PARK, AND RESTART. APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE THAT FORD HAS RECALLED FOR OTHER MODELS THAT USE THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART! CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AFTER THIS OCCURRED, HOWEVER THE ERROR CODES DO NOT RETAIN AFTER RESTARTING. NO TROUBLE WAS FOUND, COULD NOT REPLICATE. HAVE HAD SUBSEQUENT STALLS SINCE, GOING BACK TO DEALER WEDNESDAY THIS WEEK, HOWEVER WARRANTY HAS NOW EXPIRED. *JS

Mileage: 22,000

VEHICLE STALLED. THIS IS THE 4TH STALL. FIRST 3 WERE ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEED, THIS TIME IN THE DRIVEWAY. DEALER HAS CHECKED AND FOUND NO ISSUES, ALL DIAGNOSTICS ARE GOOD. FULL TANK OF GOOD GAS. NO INDICATIONS OF WHAT'S GOING. SEEMS TO BE IDENTICAL TO THE SAME ISSUE THAT WAS INVESTIGATED AND FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED FOR A MORE POPULAR MODEL UNDER FORD CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03. BASED ON THE COMPLAINTS I AM REASON ONLINE AND THE WRITE-UPS LEADING TO THE RECALL, BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL MODELS USING THE SAME TECHNOLOGY...LIKELY THE SAME TB ASSEMBLY. *TR

DURING DRIVING, THE ENGINE STOPPED AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THERE WAS NO WARNING, AND THE "YELLOW WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON, AND CAR WOULD NOT GO. THIS WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND COULD NOT GET OFF OF THE ROAD. IT HAPPENED SO QUICKLY, THERE WAS NO TIME TO REACT TO TRY TO PULL OVER. LOST STEERING AND COULDN'T MOVE ANYWHERE. WAITED FOR 1 MIN OR SO, AND RESTARTED CAR. *TR

Mileage: 46,000

THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION STARTED TO DIE AND THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION. I WOULD RESTART THE CAR AND YOU COULDN'T REALLY ACCELERATE AND EVENTUALLY IT WOULD DIE AGAIN. NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AFTER THREE DAYS THEY FINALLY FOUND THAT THE CAMSHAFT BROKE AND RUINED THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD AND HAS 60,517 MILES. I AM 517 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY AND I WOULD THINK IN GOOD FAITH, FORD WOULD HONOR THE WARRANTY, BUT I WAS TOLD IT'S IN BLACK AND WHITE. NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN TO ME HOW AND WHAT CAUSED THE CAMSHAFT TO BREAK. "IT'S A FREAK THING" IS NOT A GOOD ANSWER AND DOESN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION. THE TECHNICIAN IS BAFFLED. CAR HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED. I WOULD ALSO THINK THAT FORD WOULD WANT TO INVESTIGATE AND GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS SO IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. FORD NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THEIR ADVERTISING IS MISLEADING BECAUSE MY CAR IS NOT RELIABLE AND NOT BUILT TOUGH! YOU WONDER WHY PEOPLE BUY FOREIGN CAR BECAUSE THEY LAST! *TR

ACCELERATOR GOES LIMP DURING ACCELERATION AND "WRENCH" ICON APPEARS ON DASH. THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN WITH ELECTRICAL POWER, PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR HAS NO EFFECT. CAR CAN BE COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD. STOPPING AND RE-STARTING THE ENGINE CLEARS THE ISSUE AND CAR WILL ACCELERATE NORMALLY. THIS HAS OCCURRED 5 TIMES, AT RANDOM, AT VARIOUS SPEEDS (I.E. 50, 60, 30 MPH). CAR WAS TAKEN INTO DEALER AFTER 2ND OCCURRENCE. DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY ERROR CODES STORED AND SAID FORD PROCEDURE IN THIS CASE WAS TO "RESET" COMPUTER. ISSUE CONTINUED TO OCCUR AFTER GETTING VEHICLE BACK FROM DEALER. ON THE 5TH OCCURRENCE OF THE ISSUE, OWNER RAN A VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT (VHR) (BEFORE STOPPING AND RE-STARTING ENGINE) AND THE ISSUE WAS CAPTURED IN THE REPORT. HERE IS THE ISSUE DOCUMENTED IN THE VHR: THE WRENCH ICON MAY BE ILLUMINATED IN YOUR DASH OR CONSOLE OR MAY APPEAR IN YOUR MESSAGE CENTER. THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSTICS INDICATE A PARAMETER THAT IS OUT OF NORMAL RANGE OR THAT A COMPONENT HAS FAILED. SYSTEMS WITHIN YOUR VEHICLE NEED PROMPT SERVICE AND/OR INSPECTION. URGENT POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION / REDUCED POWER POWERTRAIN FAULT: ILLUMINATES WHEN AN ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC), TRANSMISSION, AWD/4X4 OR FUEL SYSTEM FAULT HAS BEEN DETECTED. CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED DEALER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALER ON MAY 6, 2014. DEALER IDENTIFIED ERROR CODES AND SAID VEHICLE HAD A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY COMPONENT. COMPONENT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. FORD EXTENDED SERVICE PLAN DOES NOT COVER COST, OWNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPONENT REPLACEMENT ($560.00 ESTIMATED). *TR

ISSUE 1 OF 2: ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE ENGINE HAS SUDDENLY LOST POWER, LOST SPEED AND THE ENGINE SHOOK AND RAN EXTREMELY ROUGH. THERE WAS A MESSAGE WITH A WRENCH ON THE SCREEN THAT SAID SEE OWNERS MANUAL, BUT NO USEFUL INFORMATION WAS GIVEN. THE WARNING MESSAGE LATER WENT AWAY WITH NO EVIDENCE OF A PROBLEM. 2 OF THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND NEARLY CAUSE SEVERE MULTI-CAR ACCIDENTS. ANOTHER INCIDENT WAS AT A LOWER SPEED OF ABOUT 45 MPH AND DID NOT OCCUR ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. ISSUE 2 OF 2: AS A SEPARATE ISSUE, THERE HAVE BEEN 2 OCCURRENCES OF A VERY HASH CLUNK FROM THE TRANSMISSION THAT FELT AS IF THE VEHICLE HIT SOMETHING.

I PULLED OVER OUT OF THE WAY AND IT BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AS I CAME CLOSER TO A STOP, I THEN TURNED THE KEY TO OFF SO IT WOULD STOP SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY. I TRIED RESTARTING IT ( SOMEWHAT STRUGGLED TO RESTART BUT DID COME BACK ON). THE VEHICLE THEN WAS FINE ACTED LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. SINCE THEN THIS HAS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES. I TOOK IT TO FORD TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE EDGE SAID IT WAS THE ELECTRIC THROTTLE BODY. THEY THEN BEGAN TO TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THIS ON SEVERAL VEHICLES AND FORD HAS YET TO RECALL IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THIS IS THE SECOND ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT EFFECTED THE DRIVING ABILITY. THE CAR HAS YET TO BE FIXED DUE TO WAITING ON FORD'S REPLY TO MY COMPLAINT WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

OVER THE LAST MONTH, MY VEHICLE HAS HAD STALLING ISSUES WHILE IDLING. ALL OF THE TIMES IT HAS OCCURRED WHILE MY VEHICLE IS IDLING AT A RED LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF THEN JUMPS BACK ON. HOWEVER, ONE OF THE TIMES, MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED AND I HAD TO PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK, TURN IT OFF THEN TURN IT BACK ON. DURING THIS TIME THE LIGHT HAD TURNED GREEN AND LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. MY LOCAL FORD DEALER IS FIXING THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER, THEY ARE SAYING IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE FORD CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED COMPREHENSIVE LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE FORD CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED POWERTRAIN LIMITED WARRANTY. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND NOTICED OTHER FORD AND LINCOLN MODELS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND ARE WITHIN THE SAME YEAR AS MY FORD EDGE WAS MANUFACTURED, 2011. *TR

I WAS JUST DRIVING ALONG, AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE 2011 FORD EDGE JUST STALLED COMPLETELY AND WOULD NOT MOVE, SO I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE WHOLE CARE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE DISPLAY SHOWED A WRENCH AND SAID TO CHECK OWNERS MANUAL, WHICH ACCORDING TO FORDS OWNERS MANUAL MEANS POWER TRAIN PROBLEM. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE IT AND IT ACTED LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED, GOT TO WORK AND PARKED. LATER THAT DAY DROVE IT ABOUT A MILE WITH NO INCIDENT. LEFT WORK AND JUST PULLED OUT OF THE LOT SAME THING HAPPENED, STALLED AND SHOOK VIOLENTLY SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF. IT STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM, WENT TO PULL BACK IN THE LOT AND IT ALL HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MATHEW CURRIES FORD IN NOKOMIS, FL. SERVICE TECH SAYS HES NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THERE SEEMS TO BE ALOT OF OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT, AND FORD NEEDS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW IF I WILL EVER BE ABLE TO FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE NOT EVEN MADE MY FIRST CAR PAYMENT, ITS IN THE SHOP ALREADY.. I AM NOT HAPPY!! *TR

SIMULTANEOUSLY, A YELLOW WRENCH WARNING LIGHT APPEARED. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND LET THE ENGINE RUN, IT REMAINED RUNNING ROUGH AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. I CONTINUED FOR ABOUT A MINUTE, THEN SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. AFTER RESTART, THE CAR RAN NORMALLY WITH NO WARNING INDICATORS. I TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALER WHERE THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE I SHUT THE CAR OFF, ANY ERROR CODES WERE CLEARED. THEY COULD ALSO NOT PERFORM A REPAIR IF THEY DID NOT KNOW THE CAUSE, ALTHOUGH THEY SAID IT IS PROBABLY THE THROTTLE BODY. WITHOUT ERROR CODES, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.

THE CAR WILL GO LIMP AND HESITATE UNTIL IT'S IN A SAFE AREA TO STOP THEN PUT IN PARK AND RESTART, THEN IT WILL DRIVE NORMAL UNTIL THE NEXT THE OCCURRENCE. WHICH YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHEN. THIS HAS HAPPEN 3 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST WEEK. WE HAVE FOUND THAT IT'S BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN AND A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE THAT IT RANDOMLY BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE WHILE ON THE ROAD. FORD DEALER STATE'S THAT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG AND THAT THEIRS NO CODES ON THE VEHICLE. SINCE MY FAMILIES LIVES ARE AT RISK, WITHOUT ANY ATTEMPT TO REPAIR I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH MYSELF. IT'S SEEMS MORE THAN OBVIOUS THAT THERE'S AN ISSUE AFTER REVIEWING JUST A FEW OF THOUSANDS AMONG THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE THAT I'M HAVING WITH MY 2011 FORD EDGE. THIS ISSUE HAS NOT ONLY BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE IT HAS ALSO BECOME AN INCONVENIENCE TO MY SPOUSE AND FAMILY. I ASK THAT YOU FORD SERVICE TEAM MAKES EVERY ATTEMPT TO NOT PUT ANYONE'S LIFE AT RISK.

TOOK VEHICLE TO AUTOZONE, THEY PULLED A P2111 CODE. HAVING THROTTLE BODY SERVICED TOMORROW AT LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED TODAY WAS IN AN INTERSECTION - VERY NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS THROTTLE BODY FAILURE SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE.

WHILE MAKING A TURN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED OUT WITHOUT WARNING, LUCKILY THE CAR COMING TOWARDS ME SLOWED IN TIME AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE MIDDLE LANE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND ALSO A WRENCH SYMBOL. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT DID TURN ON, I WAS DRIVING WITHOUT ISSUES, WHEN GOING 45 MPH THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND AGAIN STALLED OUT. HAVING MY 1 YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR WAS VERY FRIGHTENING, I WAS TERRIFIED I WOULD BE HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AS THE EDGE SUDDENLY TURNS OFF WITH NO WARNING. BEING WE LIVE IN A SOMEWHAT RURAL AREA AND HAVING MY SON, I WAS DETERMINED TO MAKE IT HOME, WHICH THANK GOODNESS I DID SAFELY, UNFORTUNATELY AFTER STALLING OUT 2-3 MORE TIMES. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE EDGE TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY WHICH THEY CLAIM IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY, AND SINCE WE DO NOT HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS $800. AFTER SEEING THESE OTHER POSTS IT SEEMS THAT THERE SHOULD BE A FORD RECALL. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS HURT, BUT IT CAN LEAD TO A FATALITY IF THE EDGE STALLS ON THE FREEWAY OR BUSY ROAD, ITS VERY SCARY. I PURCHASED A NEW CAR TO FEEL SAFE AND TO HAVE MY SON SAFE, I FEEL FAR FROM AND I WANT NOTHING BUT TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. VIN UNAVAILABLE AS MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AROUND 65MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY WENT INTO "LIMP" MODE WITH NO ABILITY TO MAINTAIN SPEED. I WAS ON A 3 LANE BRIDGE WITHOUT A SHOULDER AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO NAVIGATE THE VEHICLE SAFELY THROUGH TRAFFIC FROM THE FAR LEFT LANE, ACROSS THE BRIDGE, AND ONTO THE UPCOMING SHOULDER. THE RED "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE "AWD" LIGHT. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL HAD NO IMPACT TO RPM'S (WHICH STAYED AROUND 700RPM). BRAKE SCREECHING FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS HEARD AS MY VEHICLE COASTED ACROSS THE 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC. AFTER COMING TO A STOP, I TURNED OFF VEHICLE AND RESTARTED WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS AND VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY. INCIDENT OCCURRED AGAIN 1 WEEK LATER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, APROXIMATELY 65MPH. RED WRENCH LIGHT, AWD LIGHT. THIS TIME ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. I MAINTAINED MY LANE, PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS, PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL, TURN OFF IGNITION WHILE COASTING, SLIGHTLY TAPPED BRAKE TO RESTART THE CAR. VEHICLE STARTED BUT WARNING LIGHTS DID NOT RESET AND VEHICLE STILL IN LIMP MODE. WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN SPEED, I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. TURNED OFF VEHICLE AGAIN. RESTART AND RED WRENCH LIGHT WAS OFF AND AWD LIGHT WAS OFF. ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY. TOOK IT TO A DEALER WHO REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AT MY COST. VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE WHEN SUDDENLY GOING INTO "LIMP".

DRIVING ON I-65 IN AN AREA WITH 4-5 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH A SPEED ZONE OF 65 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER - WRENCH LIGHT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON - HAD TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR TO REACH THE EMERGENCY LANE. IT WAS SHEER LUCK THAT I MADE IT TO THE EMERGENCY LANE WITHOUT BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AS I COULD NOT SPEED UP THE CAR AND THE SPEED WAS NEARING ZERO MPH. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND EVENTUALLY REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. IT TOOK THE DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK TO REPAIR THE POWER TRAIN ISSUE. PER MY RESEARCH ON VARIOUS FORD EDGE SITES, THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE AND FORD HAS FAILED TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT HARMED. HOWEVER, NOT EVERYONE WILL BE THIS FORTUNATE.

AGAIN HE TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED, WE PULLED OVER AND CALLED FORD. LUCKILY THERE WAS A DEALERSHIP CLOSE BY. HOWEVER, WHEN WE TALKED TO THEM, THEY SAID THEY'D HAVE TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC. WE DIDN'T LEAVE THE CAR. WE DIDN'T HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM UNTIL JULY 25, 2013. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TWICE WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE CAR 'STALLED' MEANING I HAD NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR, ALL OTHER ITEMS WORKED OK, AN AMBER WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, I PULLED OVER, RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT WORKED FINE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN 3 DAYS LATER APPROX THE SAME SPEED. SEEMING THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE AMONG OTHER FORD EDGE CARS. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS CERTIFIED PRE OWNED 2011 FORD EDGE AND 3000 MILES INTO OWNING IT THE DRIVE TRAIN HAS REPEATEDLY SLIPPED AND WHEN IT ENGAGES IT SLAMS. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT ANY TIME MOSTLY FROM AFTER STOPPING AND SOMETIMES AS THE CAR IS JUST DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. I`M TAKING IT IN FOR THIS SOON BUT FROM THESE OTHER POSTINGS I DON`T FEEL SO GOOD ABOUT WHAT TO EXPECT. *TR

ON MARCH 9, 2013 WHILE DRIVING 40 MILES PER HOUR, THE VEHICLE JERKED AS IF I HAD HIT OR BEEN HIT BY SOMETHING, PULLED OVER INTO A PARKING LOT, GOT OUT LOOKED UNDER MY VEHICLE WALKED AROUND AND DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING, MY MOTOR DIDN'T COME OUT, DIDN'T GET HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, NO BLOWOUT TIRES, GOT BACK IN MY VEHICLE AND DROVE HOME WITH NO OTHER ISSUES (WOW). THEN ON MARCH 31, 2013 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM AN OUT OF TOWN TRIP, ALMOST HOME, ON THE INTERSTATE DRIVING 75 MILES PER HOUR THE VEHICLE JERKED AGAIN LIKE IT DID THAT DAY ON MARCH 9, MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WITH HIS EYES CLOSED AND SAT STRAIGHT UP AND ASKED ME IF WE HAD BEEN HIT. EXPLAINED TO HIM THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME A FEW WEEKS AGO. TOOK IT BACK IN AND OF COURSE THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPLICATE SO A RECORDER WAS INSTALLED. ON MAY 24, 2013 THIS HAPPENED AGAIN I PUSHED THE BUTTON ON THE RECORD AND NOW MY EDGE IS BACK IN THE SHOP. I HAVE BEEN READING BLOGS ON FORD FORUM, APPARENTLY THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING SINCE 2007. IF MY VEHICLE DECIDES TO STALL WHILE THIS IS OCCURRING I'M IN DEEP TROUBLE I'LL BE REAR ENDED AND FORD MOTOR WILL HAVE A LAW SUIT ON THEIR HANDS. GLAD IT DIDN'T STALL OUT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I MAY NOT BE HERE TODAY. *TR

I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED USED 2011 FORD EDGE IN JANUARY 2013. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I STARTED NOTICING SOME MAJOR ISSUES. 1) THE TRANSMISSION WHINES AT LOW SPEEDS, UNTIL I ACCELERATE & IT SHIFTS UP A FEW GEARS. I HAVE ALSO HAD IT SLIP & CLUNK WHILE SHIFTING GEARS 2) THERE IS A LOUD POPPING FROM THE FRONT END, PASSENGER SIDE, WHEN I AM TURNING, ESPECIALLY IN & OUT OF PARKING SPOTS 3) THERE IS A WHISTLE COMING FROM UNDER THE SUV, BETWEEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOORS & IT DOES IT IN ACCESSORY MODE OR WHEN THE SUV IS RUNNING. I HAVE NOW HAD IT BACK AT THE DEALER FOR THE 3RD TIME & THEY ARE WORKING WITH FORD ON DIAGNOSING THE ISSUES. IT IS VERY DISHEARTENING TO SPEND SO MUCH MONEY FOR A VEHICLE & HAVE SUCH ISSUES. THANKFULLY IT IS CERTIFIED & UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN GOOD ABOUT GETTING ME A LOANER VEHICLE TOO. BUT I ALMOST AM READY TO ASK THEM TO TRADE ME OUT OF IT, BECAUSE I AM SICK OF DEALING WITH THE ISSUES. IT IS EMBARRASSING TO HAVE SUCH A NICE LOOKING "NEW" VEHICLE & WHEN PEOPLE RIDE WITH ME, THEY NOTICE ALL THE THINGS WRONG & SAY I GOT A BAD DEAL. *TR

THE CAR REPEATEDLY HAS TRANSMISSION ISSUES WHEN SLOWING THEN ACCELERATING FROM AROUND 20 MPH. THE TRANSMISSION/POWER STOPS MOMENTARILY THEN IT SHIFTS WITH A VERY HARD JERKING SENSATION AND A LOUD THUD. I FEEL THIS ISSUE WILL EVENTUALLY PUT ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER. *TR

I HAD BEEN HAVING ON-GOING ISSUES WITH ENGINE SURGING, STALLING AND GEAR "SKIPPING" SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2010, WHICH I HAD REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ABOUT WHICH I WAS IN THE MIDST OF LEMON LAW PROCEEDINGS UNDER GA LEMON LAW. THEY ARE BEST DESCRIBED AS SIMILAR IN NATURE TO THOSE REPORTED IN THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION HERE: HTTP://WWW.USATODAY.COM/STORY/MONEY/CARS/2013/02/25/PROBE-FORD-CARS-SUVS-STALLING/1945799/ AT TIMES, THE ENGINE WOULD CUT OUT AT HIGH SPEEDS AND I'D BE STUCK IN "LIMP MODE". OTHER TIMES THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP, THEN SURGE, MAKING IT FEEL AS IF I WERE HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. STILL OTHER TIMES, IT MIGHT STALL OUT AT SLOW SPEEDS (I.E. WHILE MAKING A TURN, ETC.), LEAVING ME STUCK IN AN INTERSECTION AND VULNERABLE TO BEING HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FORD HAD ATTEMPTED MULTIPLE TIMES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT KEPT RECURRING, EVEN AFTER MANY PARTS WERE REBUILT OR REPLACED. FINALLY, THE UNRESOLVED ISSUE CULMINATED IN AN ACCIDENT ON 11/26/12. I WAS COMING OFF ON A HIGHWAY EXIST RAMP AND THE ENGINE "SKIPPED" AND SURGED, PROPELLING ME INTO THE REAR OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. NO ONE WAS TREATED FOR INJURY AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH, BUT THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER CAR DID REPORT INJURY AFTER THE CRASH. MY ISSUE IS STILL UNRESOLVED BY FORD. THEY CLAIM THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND HAVE MADE NO ATTEMPTS TO GET ME OUT OF THIS VEHICLE, WHICH I AM STUCK DRIVING UNTIL I CAN COMPLETE THE LENGTHY LEMON LAW PROCESS. I FEAR FOR MY LIFE EVERY DAY THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE IT AND AM AFRAID TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN IN IT. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUBMIT MY CLAIM. *TR

AS I WAS LEAVING WORK AND PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT ONTO THE MAIN ROAD AND MY CAR STALLED AFTER REACHING APPROX 10-15 MPH INDICATING ME TO "SEE MANUAL" WITH A WRENCH ON THE SCREEN THEN FLASHING "CHECK ENGINE OIL PRESSURE". AS I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP MY EDGE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE RPM'S BEGAN TO JUMP UP AND DOWN FRANTICALLY. I THEN TURNED MY EDGE OFF FOR 30 SECONDS. WHEN I RESTARTED IT, IT STARTED WITHOUT ISSUE AND IDLED FINE. I WAS ABLE TO BACK IT UP AND DRIVE IT UNDER 10 MPH TO PARK IT OVER NIGHT. THE FOLLOWING DAY (TODAY) WHEN I WENT TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE SAME THING HAPPENED EXCEPT THIS TIME AROUND ONLY THE "SEE MANUAL" INDICATOR FLASHED AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICING. STILL NO WORD ON WHAT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE. I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL, IT WAS NORMAL AND HAVE BEEN HAVING IT SERVICED EVERY 3,000 MILES. *TR

I OWN A 2011 FORD EDGE WITH 39,000 MILES ON IT. THREE DAYS AGO I WAS DRIVING ON A RELATIVELY BUSY ROAD GOING 65 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY EDGE SEEMED LIKE IT LOST ALL POWER TO IT. THE "SEE MANUAL" WITH A WRENCH SCREEN CAME UP ON MY DASHBOARD, AS MY CAR SLOWLY BEGAN TO STOP. UPON STOPPING IT BEGAN TO SHAKE AND RUMBLE VIOLENTLY. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND BACK INTO DRIVE TO START DRIVING AGAIN. WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN. THE RPM'S WOULD NOT EVEN MOVE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON IT ROLLED OVER A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE IT ACTUALLY STARTED. THEN IT ACTED LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. THEN TODAY (01/28/2013) I WAS TURNING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WASN'T EVEN GOING 20 MPH THIS TIME. I HAD TO COAST ONTO THE TURNING LATE OF THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AFTER TRYING TO AVOID BEING HIT BY A COUPLE SEMI'S. I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE WHERE THEY TESTED IT, NOTHING SEEMED TO BE WRONG WITH IT. THEY EVEN CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD. ON THE WAY HOME, 20 MINUTES LATER IT HAPPENED ON THE SAME BUSY HIGHWAY. ONCE AGAIN, I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN A COUPLE ACCIDENTS. I HAVE TRIED LOOKING EVERYWHERE TO SEE WHERE THERE IS A SOLUTION BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ONE. I FEEL EXTREMELY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, AND I ACTUALLY AM CONSIDERING TRADING IT IN. IT'S A DEATH TRAP, AND IT'S SAD TO SAY BECAUSE I LOVED MY EDGE SO MUCH. IF ANYONE HAS THE SOLUTION TO WHAT IS GOING ON, PLEASE TELL ME. I'M TIRED OF GETTING NO ANSWER. *TR

WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 30 AND 35 MPH ON FAIRLY LEVEL TERRAIN BUT SOMEWHAT CURVY MY CAR WILL LUNG VIOLENTLY. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I PULLED OVER THINKING I HAD BEEN HIT IN THE BACK OF MY CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. MARSHALL MIZE FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS THEY CAN REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR HAS ONGOING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. MY FIRST COMPLAINT WAS 1 MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. WHEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 57 MPH ON A DECLINE IF I EVERY SO SLIGHTLY TOUCH MY BRAKE PAD MY CAR WILL "SLAM" INTO A LOWER GEAR. I HAVE HAD TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP TO GET IT TO GO BACK INTO NORMAL SHIFT MODE. ACTUALLY HAD A FORD ENGINEER RIDE WITH ME AND TELL ME THAT WAS "NORMAL". WHEN I PRESSED HIM "IT'S NORMAL TO HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO GET MY CAR BACK INTO NORMAL SHIFT MODE" HE JUST SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO FOR ME. I ACTUALLY HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE EMERGENCY LANE ONE MORNING BECAUSE ME CAR DID THIS AND A TRANSFER TRUCK ALSO MOST REARENDED ME. *TR

TWO WEEKS AGO MY FORD EDGE LIMITED (2011), WHICH I HAD FOR LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND IT HAD ~21000MI, STARTED TO HAVE SERIOUS PROBLEMS. WHILE DRIVING ON ONE OF THE BUSIEST HIGHWAYS IN HOUSTON, THE ACCELERATION SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED (GAS PEDAL WENT LIMP) WHEN I WAS GOING 65-70MPH. THE CAR STILL HAD POWER AND I WAS ABLE TO BREAK AND STEER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. WHILE DOING THAT, ALMOST GOT HIT FROM THE BACK TWICE. AFTER COMPLETE STOP AT EMERGENCY LANE, I RESTARTED THE CAR. IT STARTED FINE, AND I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME, THOUGH I WAS AFRAID TO TAKE A HIGHWAY. NEXT DAY, SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED TWICE, AND BOTH TIMES AT ABOUT THE SAME SPEED. THESE TIMES, HOWEVER, I FELT STRONG VIBRATIONS WHEN RESTARTING THE ENGINE. ALL OF THE TIMES, AN ORANGE WRENCH APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD INDICATING POWER TRAIN PROBLEMS. AFTER THE SECOND TIME, A LIGHT INDICATING THAT ENGINE NEEDS TO BE SERVICED SOON ALSO APPEARED. THIS LIGHT TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN COUPLE DAYS LATER. I HAD PLENTY OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR BEFORE. THIS WAS THE LAST POINT WHEN MY PATIENCE WITH THIS CAR HAD ENDED. BESIDES, I COULD GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. LUCKILY, ALL OF THE TIMES I WAS DRIVING AFTER THE RUSH HOUR AND TRAFFIC WAS NOT TOO BAD. OTHERWISE, I WOULD BE DEFINITELY BE HIT BY SOMEONE. IN ANY CASE, I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TRADED IT IN. NO WONDER, I WAS TOLD IN THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS AND OFFERED SERVICING THE CAR. I REFUSED IT, BECAUSE OF MULTIPLE PROBLEMS I HAD WITH THIS CAR BEFORE AND JUST DIDN'T WANT TO KEEP IT ANYMORE. FORD DEFINITELY NEEDS TO RECALL 2011 FORD EDGE WITH SUCH PROBLEMS. I WILL CALL THEM AND COMPLAINT TO THEM AS WELL. FOR NOW, I WOULD RECOMMEND PEOPLE NOT TO BUY 2011 FORD EDGE AS IT HAS SO MANY ISSUES, ESPECIALLY WITH ELECTRICAL WIRING/COMPONENTS AND SYNC. THIS WAS THE MOST EXPENSIVE AND MOST UNRELIABLE CAR I'VE EVER HAD. *TR

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY TWO CHILDREN ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MILES PER HOUR/AVERAGE SPEED LIMIT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR ACCELERATION WENT LIMP AND THE CAR ENGINE STALLED. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL NO LONGER WORKED AND A LITTLE ORANGE WRENCH FLASHED IN THE DIGITAL DASH. THERE WAS NO WARNING. I PUT ON MY HAZARDS. SHUT OFF THE AR, THEN RESTARTED AND IT WAS FINE. THIS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES. FORD DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND CAN'T "RECREATE" THE PROBLEM. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ALL OVER USER GROUP WEBSITES COMPLAINING OF THIS PROBLEM BUT WHEN I CALL FORD CUSTOMER CARE THEY SAY THAT "NO ONE HAS EVER FILED THIS COMPLAINT WITH THEM". CALL FORD. BLOW UP THEIR HOTLINES AND IF YOU ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM GET THE WORD OUT TO THEM AND EVERYONE ELSE INCLUDING CONSUMER AFFAIRS, BBB AND MORE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. IT'S SO DANGEROUS AND CLEARLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE BECAUSE THEY DON'T' KNOW WHAT IT IS. *TR

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, ENGINE SHUTDOWN AND VEHICLE HAD IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER. NO VISIBLE ALERT FOR SURROUNDING TRAFFIC TO AVOID COLLISION. ENGINE DID NOT TURN OFF, BUT ACCELERATION WAS NOT POSSIBLE. I TURNED THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, RESTARTED, AND WAS ABLE TO PROCEED AT NORMAL SPEED ONTO THE INTERSTATE BEFORE IT OCCURRED AGAIN. DEALERSHIP THOUGHT THEY HAD IT FIXED ON MONDAY. THEY SAID IT WAS A COMPUTER COMMUNICATION ISSUE AND THEY RESET IT. THEIR TEST DRIVER HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP. NEXT DAY, THEY REPEATED YESTERDAY'S FIX, TOLD ME TO PICK IT UP. I HAD A FRIEND DRIVE IT, WHILE I FOLLOWED. WE MADE IT 5 MILES BEFORE IT SHUT DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I USED MY TRUCK TO BLOCK TRAFFIC SO WE COULD MAKE IT TO THE MEDIAN. DEALERSHIP HAD IT TOWED BACK. ONE WEEK LATER, THE DEALER SAYS IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY, BUT ARE NOT CONFIDENT IT IS SAFE TO RELEASE, AND ARE NOT POSITIVE THAT'S THE PROBLEM. I HAVE READ MANY BLOGS ON FORD'S COMPUTER OR FUEL RELATED ISSUES THAT APPEAR SIMILAR, YET WITH SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT DIAGNOSIS. MY CONCERN IS SAFETY. I AM LOOKING FOR A SAFE VEHICLE I CAN TRADE WITH CONFIDENCE THAT IT WILL NOT CAUSE THE NEXT OWNER TO CRASH. *TR

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS THAT MY FORD EDGE HAS STALLED. THE FIRST TWO TIMES WERE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55MPH. THIS TIME WAS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD GOING 35MPH. CAR JUST SPORADICALLY GOES "LIMP" AND LOSES ALL ACCELERATION, WITH WRENCH LIGHT COMING ON. HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD EACH TIME. FORD REFUSES TO FIX. THEY KEEP SAYING THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I'M GOING TO GET KILLED IN THIS CAR IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE ABOUT IT. APPARENTLY I'M NOT THE ONLY CONSUMER WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE FREEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN HER VEHICLE WENT "LIMP". WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN "LIMP' MODE THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION AND YOU CAN FEEL HUGE VIBRATIONS AS IF THE ENGINE WAS ABOUT TO DIE. SHE WAS FORCED TO MANEUVER HER WAY THROUGH THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH HER HAZARDS ON IN ORDER TO GET TO A "SAFE" SPOT. THE ONLY WAY SHE WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE SITUATION WAS TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART IT. THE ON BOARD COMPUTER HAD A WRENCH LIGHT UP AND A MESSAGE ASKING TO LOOK IN OUR MANUAL. PER OUR MANUAL THIS IS A POWERTRAIN ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES IN LESS THAN FOUR DAYS AND TWICE OUR THREE MONTH OLD SON WAS WITH US/HER. MY WIFE IS CURRENTLY TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND SHE JUST CALLED TO INFORM ME THAT IT HAD HAPPENED THE THIRD TIME. THIS IS A DANGEROUS THING AND HAS DISASTER WRITTEN ALL OVER IT! *JB

WAS DRIVING IN MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC GOING ABOUT 50MPH ON A HIGHWAY. CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND WENT "LIMP" WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. WAS ABLE TO GET CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD BEFORE IT COMPLETELY STOPPED. IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING AS CARS WERE CLOSE BEHIND ME AND COULD HAVE EASILY REAR-ENDED ME. HUSBAND CAME TO THE SCENE AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART CAR AND DRIVE IT. SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. HAD CAR TOWED TO LOCAL SHOP OWNED BY FORD DEALER. THEY CONCLUDED THAT WE HAD CARBON BUILD UP IN THE FUEL SYSTEM THAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THEY CLEANED OUT THE "GUNK" AND CHARGED US $350. FOUR DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I HAD BOTH OF MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND MY DOG. CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION IN THE MIDDLE OF 5PM TRAFFIC! WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER IN SHOPPING CENTER BEFORE IT COMPLETELY DIED. TOWED IT BACK TO DEALER. THIS TIME THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM, BUT RECALIBRATED IT (WHATEVER "IT" IS). I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN FOR FEAR THAT IT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I'M GOING 65MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY! IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. FORD NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. FROM WHAT I READ, IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OF THEIR MODELS AND HAS TYPICALLY INVOLVED THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR

AFTER BUYING MY 2011 FORD EDGE FROM CARMAX AND DRIVING IT FOR 35 DAYS, MY CAR STARTED TO HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT WAS CLANKING, SLOW ACCELERATING, VIBRATING, WHEN YOU WOULD STOP IT WOULDN'T PROCEED WHEN GAS APPLIED UNTIL IT WOULD LOUDLY THUMP AND LURCH FORWARD. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT NEEDED THE PART (AT4Z7251A). THE PROBLEM IS THERE ARE ONLY 2 (AT4Z7251A) IN THE WHOLE UNITED STATES! THOSE ARE ON HOLD FOR CUSTOMERS OR THEY APPEAR IN INVENTORY ON COMPUTER BUT THEY ARE NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THIS PART HAS BEEN ON BACK ORDER FOR A VERY VERY VERY LONG TIME .I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I AM THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM SINCE THIS PART IS USED FOR AT LEAST 5 DIFFERENT TYPE FORD CARS. MY CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR A MONTH WAITING FOR THE PART. AFTER READING OTHER OWNER PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO MINE THERE NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING DONE BY THE FORD CORPORATION. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE TO WAIT FOR A PART WITH NO ETA . *TR

TWICE AFTER BACKING UP AND SHIFTING THE CAR FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, THE CAR STALLED/SHUT OFF. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED AFTER BACKING ONTO A BUSY STREET. WHILE PUSHING ON THE GAS WITH NO FORWARD MOVEMENT, I SAW A MESSAGE DISPLAYED IN THE DASH THAT THE CAR MUST BE IN PARK TO START. I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT IN THAT INSTANCE I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO START THE VEHICLE AND MOVE PRIOR TO TRAFFIC REACHING ME AS IT OCCURRED ON A BUSY STREET. THE APPROXIMATE DATE FOR THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS IN JUNE OF 2011. THE SECOND WAS ON JULY 5, 2011, WITH APPROXIMATELY 2,450 MILES. ON NOVEMBER 3, 2011, AND NOVEMBER 29, 2011, MY CARS BATTERY DIED RESULTING IN NEEDING TO CALL FORD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO TOW IT TO THE DEALER. PRIOR TO THAT, I TWICE HAD A BATTERY SAVER MESSAGE DISPLAYED AFTER I SHUT OFF MY CAR, ALTHOUGH EVERYTHING WAS OFF. WHILE AT THE DEALER THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED, THE BATTERY DIED FOR THE THIRD TIME AFTER APPROXIMATELY 8 HOURS. THE BATTERY TEST ALWAYS REPORTED THAT THE BATTERY WAS OKAY. AFTER A WEEK AT THE SHOP THEY WERE STILL UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. TWO TIMES MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE THAT I HAD THE KEY IN MY POSSESSION WITHIN THE VEHICLE AND THEREFORE WOULD NOT START. I DO NOT KNOW IF ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE POSSIBLY INTERCONNECTED WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM.
